WHERE TO SOW
Early sowings in trays or modules under glass at 13°C. Later sowings direct into seed bed in
shallow drills 1.5cm (3/4") deep.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Prick off the glasshouse seedlings when 6-8cm
(3-4”) tall into trays 5cm (2”) apart. Thin module sowings to single plants. Harden off before planting out in the growing site from early May 30cm (12”) apart. Thin outdoor sowings to 4-6cm (2-3”) apart as soon as possible, planting in the growing site when 15cm (6”) tall spaced at 45cm (15”) apart. Firm in well and keep well watered in drought conditions.
HANDY TIPS
Cabbages like good solid ground. Do not plant into freshly dug ground, so dig the plot well in advance. Do not grow on same ground two years running.
NUTRITIONAL VALUES
Excellent source of vitamin C & B. The darkest leaves contain the most nutrients.
