Cabbage

Back to Vegetable Seed Catalog Index

Cabbage comes in a variety of colors (green, red or purple) as well as a variety of head shapes. Choosing the proper variety for your area can help growing cabbage in the garden a relatively easy task. It is best to start seeds indoors by sowing them about ½ inch deep, and then transplant the plants to the garden. Place the plants in a location that receives full sun to slight shade. Early cabbage plants should be planted in the garden early in spring so the heads will mature prior to the heat of the summer. Late cabbage varieties can be planted in the summer to produce heads in the fall. You will want to space the plants about 12 to 24 inches apart. Fertilize and water the plants to ensure the best possible results. Harvest cabbage when the heads have formed and are firm.
