How to Plant Cabbage from Seed

When to Plant

  • Spring Crop: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost.
  • Fall Crop: Sow seeds 10-12 weeks before the first expected frost.
  • Succession Planting: Stagger plantings every 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest.

Preparing for Planting

  1. Choose a sunny, well-drained location.
  2. Loosen the soil to at least 12 inches deep.
  3. Add compost or aged manure to enrich the soil.

Starting Seeds Indoors

  1. Fill seed trays or containers with moist seed-starting mix.
  2. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, lightly covering them with soil.
  3. Keep soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65-75°F (18-24°C).
  4. Seeds will germinate in 5-10 days.
  5. Once seedlings have 2-3 sets of true leaves, harden them off before transplanting.

Direct Sowing in the Garden

  1. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in rows spaced 18-24 inches apart.
  2. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart once they reach 3 inches tall.
  3. Keep soil moist and free of weeds.

Pro Tip

For dense, healthy cabbage heads, plant in well-drained, fertile soil with consistent moisture (about 1–1.5 inches of water per week). To prevent splitting, avoid sudden heavy watering after a dry spell.

Bonus: Rotate crops yearly to prevent disease buildup.

Getting to know your Cabbage

Cabbage is a leafy biennial vegetable grown as an annual, forming dense, round or elongated heads in green, red, or purple varieties. It thrives in cool weather and requires fertile, moisture-retentive soil with full sun. Cabbage heads range in size from small, tender heads to large, firm ones, depending on the variety. It takes 60-100 days to mature and is highly versatile, used in raw salads, coleslaw, soups, and fermented dishes like sauerkraut. Cabbage is prone to pests like cabbage worms and aphids, making row covers and crop rotation essential. Proper spacing is needed to prevent disease and encourage healthy head formation.

What it's used for

  • Commonly used in salads, coleslaws, soups, stir-fries, and fermented dishes like sauerkraut and kimchi.
  • Can be eaten raw, steamed, sautéed, or boiled.

2. Nutritional Benefits:

  • High in vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber.
  • Contains antioxidants that support immune health and digestion.

3. Companion Planting & Soil Benefits:

Soil:

  • Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.

Temperature & Climate:

  • Ideal growing temperatures: 45-75°F (7-24°C).

  • Apply a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10) before planting.
  • Side-dress with compost or nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 3-4 weeks.
Maintenance

Watering:

Fertilization:

  • Apply a high-nitrogen fertilizer at transplanting and again midway through growth.

Weeding & Mulching:

  • Mulch with straw or organic material to suppress weeds.

    Collect dried seed pods and store seeds in a cool, dry place.
