Soil & Water: Cabbage prefers rich, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5. Water heavily from planting to head formation, then water moderately to prevent splitting. Cabbage is a hardy crop, grown best in cool spring and fall temperatures.
Planting & Growing: Start indoors 8 weeks before last frost, or outdoors March through June. Fast growing or stressed cabbages tend to split and bolt; cutting into the root system will slow growth and prevent splitting. Provide transplants with cutworm shield collars.
Harvesting & Storage: Early types of cabbage grow and mature quickly and must be harvested promptly to avoid splitting. Heads store well in cool (32?F to 40?F), moist locations for 5 to 6 months.
Did You Know? Cabbage is high in vitamin C, folate, and antioxidants.
