- 1). Grow your cabbage in at least 50% shade or under a shade-cloth. Start them in flats.
- 2). Transplant the cabbage so the first real leaves are just above the soil. This should be deep enough to keep the plants stable. Pack the soil so the root system is completely covered.
- 3). Protect the seedlings after transplant from insects and pests, by covering the cabbage rows with a lightweight cover. Aphids, cabbage worms, and cabbage maggots can spoil your harvest.
- 4). Make sure to plant your cabbage in a rich soil blended with compost. Fertilize your cabbage patch once a month with a complete fertilizer. Water your cabbage everyday.
- 5). Plant your cabbage from fall to spring if you live in the West. Plant in mid-summer for colder climates.
