Cultivation Advice 

• Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost or sow seeds directly in well-prepared soil when the soil is workable. Choose a sunny location.
• Ensure well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Maintain a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (6.0-7.5) for optimal growth.
• Sow seeds ¼ to ½ inch deep in seed trays or directly in the garden. Maintain spacing of about 18-24 inches between plants.
• Keep the soil consistently moist, particularly during dry spells. Water deeply, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Apply mulch around plants to retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Keep mulch slightly away from the plant base to avoid rot.
• Prior to planting, enrich the soil with compost or a balanced fertilizer. Consider side-dressing with nitrogen-rich fertilizer during growth.
• Protect against pests like cabbage worms or aphids using barriers or organic pest control methods.
• Regularly inspect for signs of pests or diseases. Practice crop rotation and maintain garden hygiene to minimize issues.
• Harvest when the heads are firm and reach 6-8 inches in diameter. Cut the heads from the base.
• Use freshly harvested cabbage promptly for the best flavor. Store remaining heads in a cool, humid place, like a refrigerator, for a few days.
• Consider planting with companion plants like onions or dill to deter pests and enhance growth.
• Extend the harvest by planting new seeds every few weeks. Fall planting may yield a late-season crop.

• Aim for consistent moisture, especially during warmer weather. Water deeply and avoid overwatering, which can cause root-related issues.
