Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors or in cold frames 4-6 weeks before planting date. Transplant out after danger of hard frost has passed. Direct sow when daytime soil temps warm to 75°F. Heavy feeder.

Harvesting & Storage: Cabbage is mature when the tight outer leaf of the head begins to fold back on itself. Cut heads flat on underside.
