Instructions

Cabbages prefer well-drained fertile soil that is within the range of 6.0-7.5 pH. A general guideline is 2-3 lbs of 8-16-16 fertilizer over 100 sq ft of the garden area two weeks before planting.  If boron is not present in your soils, consider adding 1 Tbs per 100 sq ft. 

Direct sow when daytime soil temps warm to 75°F. Start seeds indoors or in cold frames 4-6 weeks before the planting date. The optimal soil temperature for germination is 75°F but seeds will germinate in soils as cool as 50°F. 

Cabbage is mature when the tight outer leaf of the head begins to fold back on itself. Cut heads flat on the underside. Cabbage is best stored at 32°F, with high humidity and good air circulation.
