Vegetable Gardening: Growing Organic Cabbage

Cabbage, a.k.a. head cabbage, is a long standing food staple of the world.  The dense, compacted leaves form "heads" which store very well.  Combined with the fact it is so widely grown makes cabbage a very economical vegetable.

Types of Cabbage for Growing in Your Vegetable Garden:

Cabbage can be green or red and come in dwarf varieties that can be grown in container gardens 
  • Savoy Cabbage:  With it's curly, lacy leaves, this cabbage is very pretty. It's leaves are not as densely packed as the head cabbage.

  • Green Cabbage: These round, heavy heads of cabbage are what most of us are familiar with. Excellent storage capability.

  • Red Cabbage:  Looks just like a green cabbage except it's...well.. red. Red cabbage usually has much smaller heads than green cabbage and are not bothered by the cabbage caterpillars.

  • Gonzales' Cabbage Variety:  This compact plant produces small heads(4-6 inch), making it an ideal variety for container gardening.
Cabbage Planting  
For summer harvesting, start your cabbage seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost. 
  • Sow the seeds 1/2 inch deep, with 2-3 seeds per hill. Keep the seeds starters at 75 degrees for best germination.
  • When seedlings emerge, thin to one seedling and keep the seedlings at a lower temperature (about 60 degrees). Keep them there until time to transplant.
  • Transplant your cabbage seedlings into your garden, spaced about 8 inches apart.
