Harvest
Sowing IndoorsSow thinly, 1cm deep in clean trays or modules of firm pre-watered compost. Place in warmth, 10-15°C and keep soil moist at all times.
Growing On / Planting OutWhen large enough to handle, transplant seedlings 5cm apart to trays or individual pots of potting compost. Gradually accustom them to conditions outside for 2-3 weeks before planting out to their cropping position. Water plants generously in dry weather.
Sowing OutdoorsSow thinly in a shallow, short, pre-watered row. Lightly cover them with a little soil. Keep soil moist until seedlings are established, then thin to 2cm apart.
TransplantingWhen the seedlings have produced about four true leaves, transplant them to their cropping positions. Firm in, and keep well watered in dry spells.
AdviceAvoid planting in the same soil as other Brassicas the previous year. Cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.
How To Grow
Cabbages are a kitchen garden staple, producing crisp, leafy heads full of flavour and goodness. From firm whites to crinkled Savoys and vibrant reds, they’re reliable and can be harvested for much of the year. Start seeds in modules and transplant when strong enough. Cabbages thrive in firm, nutrient-rich soil with full sun. Keep well-watered and protect from caterpillars and pigeons for healthy crops.
Indoor Sowing Fill modular seed trays with fine seed compost, moistening before sowing. Sow one seed per module and keep compost consistently damp with a gentle mist. Place trays in a warm, bright spot out of direct sunlight. Once seedlings develop true leaves or roots fill the modules, harden them off before planting out.
Planting Out Harden off seedlings over 7–14 days, gradually increasing outdoor exposure. Transplant into beds or pots, spacing 45cm between plants and rows.
Outdoor Sowing Choose disease-resistant varieties to guard against club root. Use brassica collars to deter root fly and netting to protect from birds and insects. Sow or transplant 1cm deep, spacing 45cm apart in rows 45cm apart.
