Thank you for this great info. Will cabbage grow well in a large planter? I should add that this is me just starting my veg growing journey… can you recommend a companion that I can plant beside it?
Nice
How do I get the cabbage seed?.
I could not get my cabbage seedlings to harden off. They just fell over a few weeks after they emerging.
I will sow the cabbage seeds into the ground,( no luck with the indoor seedlings), with a tomato plant to ward off cabbage beetles.
I am putting rabbit manure and multch like grass clippings with rabbit pee on it and put it around my brassicas and the white butterfly leaves them alone and this also makes an excellent fertilizer .
Sudan should farming cabbage for heathy life and tread with sudan borders
Good video thanks
The perfect cabbage lesson, excellently presented.
I'm growing cabbages from seed they seem to be doing ok .but now that they are between 70- 80 cm they are not standing upright but lying over is this normal. first timer not sure what to look for.
Minor gripe. Please stop telling newbies, or experienced for that matter, that peas and other legumes "lock nitrogen into the soil" this old myth has long been disproved, they add no more than any other rotting down organic matter.
When can we harvest a head of cabbage! How many hours does it take to light the sun?! Can it be grown in a location that receives about 4 hours of sun per day?
Thanks for the video, your channel is very useful, keep it up 💚
Here in the US, .22 rifles are best for pigeons
Help.
I am growing cabbages for the first time in containers.
But they are developing white lines on the leaves
Other leaves are shrivelling and again showing white marks.
But no trace of caterpillars.
Any suggestions?? Please.
how are cabbages so cheap at the market? it's so complicated to grow!
What fertilizer did u use
I heard mint to deter rabbits but didn't know what deterred flea beetles that explains why I don't have any this year
Ilove cabbage lot
ever tried Christmas lights around a plant in the winter under a net or cover ?
I would love for you to do a sowing to harvest video about Brussels Sprouts. Your videos are my go to when I want to learn anything about gardening.
I have never grown cabbage before so when I cut the head off I ended up leaving little starts on the base and now they are all growing. There are five or six little starts on each stem. Should I thin them or break them off and plant them?
Have geats using nose
Am I supposed to get pods growing from my cabbage?
Awesome! blessings to everyone, if you haven't yet repented and accepted christ Jesus as your lord and savior, please do so before it's too late it's not God's will for none to perish. Acts 2vs 38 John 3vs 16 Romans 10 vs 13
Cabbage is one of my favorites. I’ve never grown them before but I hope to this year.
That was a very good lesson on growing cabbages. However I feel you have missed out one important part I was specifically looking for. How to take care of a new forming head. Whenever mine start to grow some insects eat them and my cabbage get stuck there. That's when I root it out and cook the leftover.
This is awesome guide.But in places I would unravel the surrounding weeds for better production purposes.
Someone in my local gardening group said that the white butterflies seemed more interested in pollinating their catnip blooms than eating the cabbage. I didn’t grow cabbage last year, but I do have lots of catnip. Guess I’ll find out for myself this season. 😊
I’m trying Chinese cabbage this year. I’ll try the nasturtiums trick. I interplant them with my tomatoes already
No fertilizing huh? Just Water
Chinese Cabbage .
These things are tiny, one cabbage per Sunday dinner for four.
I grow 4 of these cabbage per 1 foot square in a very raised bed.
succession growing is successful using 4 raised beds.
Chinese cabbage tend to grow in a traffic cone shape rather than the big sprawling English cabbage shape.
Fantastic for the small garden .. will grow in pots and planters too.
Thank you for the informative video. I like your enthusiasm and your garden 🙂💐
My favorite cabbage is Savoy (especially for cabbage rolls), and I will be growing it for the first time this year (very hard to find seeds. Also, I didn't know that before, until someone mentioned that, seeds ordered from different countries are often irradiated at the border, therefore, the seeds won't sprout. It happened to me too. Waste of money).
Nice tips and tricks, thank you. My cabbage will love this
Bad week this week Ben ,Brussel ,kale ,brocelli ,and lettuce plants all wiped out by rabbits ,not good
I know this is old, do I loosen up the soil between rows, my raised bed has become quite compact it still absorbed water but it puddles up first.
Watching this so I know when to plant my cabbages for this fall. I believe they need transplanting now ish??
They have been grown on in bitter 15cm pots so at a good size to go into the ground with compost and bfb… they going into a raised bed- not a deep one. But not on in ground
Hi Ben, my all season cabbage are small but the leaves are coming olong
Top good❤
Florida zone 9 I do best with early Dutch flat in large (20 gallon), self-watering containers that will grow 3 plants with picture perfect heads to 12#. One head will make 25+ stuffed cabbage rolls, which my kids claim are every bit as good as lasagna with regard to their idea of special meals.
I prune the early leaves (as early greens) and just keep the leaves off of the soil and with plenty airflow underneath. I start mine at the end of Sept and grow past Jan or harvest as needed after that. They Take a little longer this time of year when the sun diminishes some, but I end up not having to use any pest control or excessive water usage.
I have been growing the cabbage for almost a month now and the leaves are about as big as my thumb. Can i keep them in the pot? Will it die?
About to start my first cabbage garden, thank you for the tips!
Hi , any idea why they don't grow enough inside , the head in my patch raised bed is not fill and compact..strange ! I left them much longer, even so they did not develop a compact head .
Thank you! I learned something new!
Nice
