How to grow
Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow when soil is workable. Transplant to full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, spacing 18 to 24 inches apart in rows 24 to 36 inches apart. Maintain steady moisture and mulch to retain soil humidity. Cabbage performs across USDA Zones 2 to 11 and thrives in cool weather.
Flavor profile
Flavors span crisp and mild (Red Acre, Golden Acre), sweet and tender (Jersey Wakefield), dense and savory for kraut (Early Round Dutch), and mild, leafy Napa for fermenting and stir-fries (Michihili).
