Product Details: Genus: Brassica Species: Brassica oleracea (Capitata Group - Early Green variety) Hardiness Zone: USDA Zones 3 – 11 (Excellent cold tolerance; hardy down to 20°F). Days to Maturity: 60 - 65 days (From transplanting). Days to Germination: 5 to 10 days (Optimal soil temp: 60°F - 75°F). Seeding Depth: ½ inch (1.2 cm). Row Spacing: 24 - 36 inches (60 - 90 cm). Plant Height: 10 – 14 inches (25 - 35 cm) upright. Growth Habit: Upright, leafy basal rosette. Forms a dense, firm, tightly wrapped spherical head of pale-green, crisp, smooth leaves surrounded by slightly wavy, vibrant green outer wrapper leaves. Soil Preference: Deep, loose, fertile, moisture-retentive loam heavily amended with organic matter. pH 6.0 – 7.5. Temperature Preference: Cool weather. Best performance at 55°F - 65°F (12°C - 18°C). Will bolt if temps consistently exceed 75°F. Light Preference: Full Sun (minimum 6-8 hours of direct sunlight). How to Plant & Grow: Site Preparation: Cabbages are heavy feeders! Choose a sunny spot with deep, loose, and incredibly fertile soil. Work 4 inches of aged compost and a balanced organic vegetable fertilizer into the top 8 inches of soil. Sowing: Direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring (as soon as the soil can be worked), or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. For a fall crop, plant in mid-summer. Plant seeds ½ inch (1.2 cm) deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination (5-10 days). Spacing: For Standard Round Heads: Space seedlings 18 to 24 inches (45-60 cm) apart in rows spaced 24 to 36 inches (60-90 cm) apart. For Smaller/Intensive Heads: Reduce spacing to 12 inches (30 cm) apart. Square Foot Gardening (SFG): Plant 1 plant per 1-square-foot area. Watering: Deep, consistent watering is critical for tight heads. Provide about 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5-4 cm) of water per week. Fluctuating moisture can cause the heads to split open. Harvesting: Check for firmness. When the heads feel dense, solid, and hard when gently squeezed (usually 60-65 days), they are ready. Use a sharp knife to cut the thick stalk just below the lowest head leaves. Gardener's Tip: To prevent heads from splitting in rainy weather, when the cabbage head is nearly mature, give the root system a firm twist by hand. This breaks some roots and stops the plant from taking up excess water, preventing splitting. Planting Calendar: Early Spring Crop: Direct Sow/Transplant: March to April. Harvest: Late May to June. Fall Crop (Excellent Storage Quality): Direct Sow/Transplant: Late July to Mid-August. Harvest: October to November. Mild Winter Zones (USDA 9-11): Can be sown from September to November for winter harvests.
