CABBAGE

Brassica spp.

Cabbage is mainly a cool season crop; sow late summer to late autumn depending on area. Sow in tropical areas during the dry season. Bok Choy and Sugarloaf types are a better choice in warmer areas than larger cabbages. Cabbage likes a rich, well-drained soil. Sow 10 mm deep in trays or seedbed. Transplant seedlings by first removing the seed leaves and planting deeper, up to the 1st set of true leaves. Space plants 75 cm apart. Prepare soil by digging well-rotted compost or animal manure through the bed. Keep soil moist; add organic fertiliser when plants are half grown. Begin harvest as soon as heads feel solid.
