Growing Cabbage Seed To Harvest - The Definitive Guide

Cabbage...The Unsung Brassica! Unlike its showy sisters Broccoli and Cauliflower, Cabbage doesn't need an expensive fruiting head to generate epic harvests. Because of this, its remarkably easy to sow, grow, and harvest!

In this video, let's look at all that's needed to grow some epic Cabbage this fall (or spring if you're Down Under) so you too can enjoy the sweet, vivid flavor of this leafy veggie! No-till style planting of course!

2021 is the Year of the Garden! We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need to get back on track!

Wow, this was a great video - I learned a lot. Man, I appreciate what you do so much, thank you!!!

[Seafoamworks]

2:09 I was able to toss my brassica mix of seeds into a water bottle then when they had some roots I poured them into a container. Then I thinned the plants that didn't grow as fast and ate them. I have some that shall hopefully either give me good leaves or bolt and give me a lot of seeds. I eat the seedlings. They are tasty.

Thanks for a timely informative video Jeff

[qmoonwalker]

Like it! Have chickens, tortoise, and worms. All of which will love those outer leaves and stalk. Will give this a try from seeds in a month or so here in southern cal. Thanks Jeff!

Another great vid Jeff, thank you. I tried planting in summer for fall harvest last year but got nowhere, no heading on the guys and then frost hit (I live in Montreal, so zone 5ish where I am). Next year early start for sure and I am getting a bigger garden (moving) so I plan to put many of your wonderful ideas into practice, including a few raised beds. Don't stop with the great work, please! I need you Super Jeff ! You're my Great Canadian Hero! :)

I would really like it if you can please include celcious degrees for your Aussie viewers.Great video! Thankyou.😊

Should you prune off some of the big leaves before the head forms to help growth 🤔

Lots of leaves, no head. Gave 5-2-2 throughout.Alfalfa at the beginning of March🤷‍♀️ very heartbreaking to get nothing.

[maddhatter]

My cabbage was planted last spring, it never made a head but went through the summer and winter, its early march now (nearly a year after planting, and i notice flwer pods starting. what do i need to do to get a Head?

[lisasharpe]

I live in zone 7b so it's one of those warm, but unpredictable areas interms of weather. Spring feels like it's about 10 days. Is there a sweet spot in late July/early August when I could just direct sow?

[gtothegrave]

Diocletian would like to know your location:

[lolitabonita]

mice info but i wish u kill the idiotic annoying repetitive music...

[myrustygarden]

I’m lucky Cedar Rim Nursery near me are going to carry “fall” starters as of theirs fall (late August early September) but I may start some myself just in case ✌️🇨🇦🐝 safe

Great video. The timing of planting.
40-70*F 🤔 I live in north Texas. It’s May 2, 2022 I think I’m a little late.

[ChristopherPisz]

I don't follow your no till style of prepping a bed. If you lay down paper and throw more compost on top at a depth enough to play, you'd be overflowing after a few seasons, no? What's making bottom layers either disappear or shrink down?

[glwelder]

So no need to make holes in the craft paper, as it compost pretty quickly?

[sparkoflight]

I planted cabbages for the first time, so excited. I think I’m going to plant some red too!!
