Ed’s Special Advice: Plant cabbage in sunny location where no cabbage was grown the year before. Rich soil and regular waterings are to their liking. Delicious and rich in vitamins and minerals. Protect from cabbage moths with agricultural netting.

SEED SAVING: Isolate from all other brassicas to avoid cross pollination. Cabbages flower and seed second year of growth. Collect and open dry seed pods and store in cool, dry location.
