Planting & Care

Sow Red Acre Cabbage seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in moist, well-drained soil. Keep the seedbed evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow proper head development.

Provide consistent moisture throughout the growing season, especially as heads begin to form. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize with a balanced organic fertilizer according to soil test recommendations. Harvest heads when they are firm and reach desired size, typically before they split.
