Cabbage is a nutrient-dense, versatile superfood that belongs to the Brassica family of vegetables. Rich in vitamins C and K, fiber, and antioxidants, this crunchy, flavorful vegetable is a healthy addition to any meal.
Here's how to grow cabbage from seeds in 7 easy steps:
**Step 1: Prepare the Soil**
Get your soil ready for the new additions! Mix in some compost or well-rotted manure to create a nutrient-rich environment. Cabbage loves slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
**Step 2: Sow the Seeds**
Sow your cabbage seeds about ¼ inch deep and 2-3 inches apart in a seed tray or directly in the garden bed. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Water gently but thoroughly.
**Step 3: Provide the Right Conditions**
Cabbage seeds need cool temperatures to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of around 70°F (21°C) during the day and no lower than 50°F (10°C) at night.
**Step 4: Thin Out the Seedlings**
Once the seedlings emerge, thin them out to 6-8 inches apart. Use scissors to carefully cut off weaker seedlings at soil level, leaving the strongest ones to grow.
**Step 5: Transplant**
After 2-3 weeks, transplant the seedlings into larger containers or directly into the garden bed. Space them 12-18 inches apart in rows that are 2-3 feet apart.
**Step 6: Water and Mulch**
Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
**Step 7: Harvest**
After 70-100 days, your cabbage is ready to harvest! Cut the head at the base of the plant with a sharp knife, leaving a small stem attached to the plant. Enjoy your crunchy, delicious homegrown cabbage!
That's it! With these simple steps, you'll be enjoying fresh, nutritious cabbage from your very own garden. Happy growing!
