• Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart, with rows spaced 24-36 inches apart.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼-½ inch deep.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy during germination and early growth.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, particularly during dry spells. Avoid wetting the leaves to prevent disease.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer with a slight emphasis on nitrogen to support leafy growth, but avoid too much nitrogen as it can reduce head formation.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the soil temperature stable.

Harvesting:

• Harvest Time: 60-75 days after sowing when the heads are firm and compact, and the leaves are tender and sweet.
• Harvesting Method: Use a sharp knife to cut the heads from the plant, leaving the stems intact for continued growth or for subsequent harvests.

Storage:

• Storage: Harvested cabbage can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks. For longer storage, store in a cool, dry place or preserve by pickling or fermenting.
