I made the happy "mistake " of planting my cabbage with comfrey. My cabbages are very happy and healthy! Will definitely be doing this again!

Thanks Luke! First time cabbage grower here. I paused the video and ran out to give my cabbage some fish fertilizer.

Great content Luke! Have you ever thought about doing a similar video with cauliflower?

Hey Luke, I used a insect netting on my 2 rows of cabbage and cauliflower this spring. I lost every cauliflower and part of my cabbage last season. This year using the insect netting I was able to save and put up every one of my cauliflower and all but 1 of my cabbage. One thing i need to keep in mind for next year, to set my hoops out an extra foot and a half to accomidate the growth size. I hope this helps. Thank you for all the videos, I know how much work you put into creating all your content.

New business idea. Professional cabbage cabbager.

Our cabbage is growing and heading fine, however the outer leaves are so big we're barely able to keep them contained In the raised bed, We made Screen dome tops for them so the cabbage moths don't get to them and that has been working awesome, my question is, Is it beneficial to trim the outer leaves?

Love watching your channel. Back when my family had a farming lot, we would divide the garden's ground area in sections needed by the amount of plants we chose to grow. This was mainly for the "sweet" soil lovers which was mainly the cabbage family. All the soil would be enriched with organic matter, but the "Tart" lovers also got peat to make them happy. The cabbage family got extra lime tilled in. We also had beautiful whole leaves with no insect damage. This was achieved with continual "dusting" of the entire plant and surrounding soil with lime. The plants loved it, while the insects hated it ! If the rain washed it away, we were always right out there making sure the girls always powdered their noses 😉

The outside leaves make great slug and snail havens

Thanks Luke! I looked last week about how to grow a giant cabbage and this was the most helpful. I’m growing giant Sapporo cabbages and have harvested several and I just put some of your early Wakefield cabbages in the ground for a fall crop.

What variety of cabbage are you growing? Those look huge!

[maryrapper]

Can I grow cabbage in a container? If so, what size is best and what size is the smallest I can use? Thank you.

[fnproulx]

thank you cabbages are marvelous, i used a bug net this year and it helped with white butterflies and also to prevent slugs

[jeas]

Ok. Haven't watched yet... but the title on this video is hilarious! 😂
Watched! Very informative, Thank you. I'm planning on a fall planting I can grow well into winter 7b/8. Is there a variety that does better with August germination growing into the winter? I have Early Jersey Wakefield, Early Golden Acre, Golden Acre (not early) Red Acre, Savoy, Copenhagen, & Red Rock Mammoth.

Off subject. But my Kohlrabi is flowering way too soon. What should I do?
