Care
Firm the soil around young plants to remove air pockets. Keep well‑weeded and watered during dry spells. To extend your season, cabbages can also be sown as early as January under cover or in a greenhouse tunnel for an earlier harvest the following spring. Remove outer leaves as heads develop to focus growth.
