Commonly Asked Questions
What is the best month to plant cabbage?
Plant summer cabbages from late February to early May (with protection for early sowings), autumn and winter cabbages in April and May, and spring cabbages from July to August.
Does cabbage like full sun or shade?
Cabbage thrives in full sun, requiring at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day. Ensure you water at the base in the morning to keep the foliage dry and support healthy growth.
How do you plant and care for cabbage?
Plant cabbage 1 to 2 inches deep in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.5 to 6.8. Provide at least six hours of sunlight, and improve soil conditions with compost or organic matter. Space plants according to guidelines for optimal growth.
Does a cabbage plant keep on producing?
Cabbage plants produce only one head per growing season. Garden-grown cabbage heads often have many open leaves, which are also edible.
Can I grow cabbages in pots?
Yes, a 10-12 inches wide and deep pot is ideal for growing cabbages. Ensure adequate drainage and plant only one cabbage per pot for best results. For more plants, use larger or multiple containers.
