I actually grew a plan out of the base of the cabbage that I was about to cook. It made a bunch of pods the has seeds in it. I tried planting the seeds and they grew after a week.
I'm planning on planting cabbage and have been scared because of how much of a heavy feeder cabbage is, and i must say this video has given me a go ahead! Thanks for an informative video.
Hi CG I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to respond to me. Thank you. You take the not so mature leaves and after washing them you cut them thinly cook for about ten minutes and then add the rice. Pretty much the same way you'd cook spinach or beans.
thanks for sharing this video.this will be a big help.this will be the first time I will be growing cabbage.i started seeds in doors in February. . Here in Connecticut.
I am a cabbage conosuir lol. And I plant 2 -15 plant rows first row is an F1 hybrid market prize for 4-6 lb heads then for the 2nd row i use flat Dutch. And i have harvested 25-35 lb heads that are blue green tender flatish round heads . I love the flat Dutch because it stays tender and is very easy to grow. It puts up with alot. Great video. Thank you. God bless. Chris. indiana. U.S.
I know it takes a lot of work to post such great videos, but I'm happy you do. I have learned so much and enjoy seeing the time lapse of the plants at various stages of growth. Thank you sir.
Kat Comfort I am glad you liked the videos. Feedback from fans like you helps me create the right kind of videos so than you for that! Happy Gardening!!
I am so glad I found your channel. Your videos are so unique and informative. Please keep up the good work. We NEED your videos. I am getting kinda addicted to it LOL.
Chinese cabbage is one of my favorites, (my wife is half Chinese) I do have a challenge at times getting it form a head. Savoy is the best tasting of "regular" cabbage, along with Jersey wakefield sweet. Flat Dutch I use for Kraut).
hi. great video. my grandmother always grew cabbage, on the zone 2 zone 1 fringe. big crisp and delicious. I've been gardening for 22 years but have not tried cabbage yet. maybe this year.
This is my first time growing cabbage. Your video was very informative--thank you. My favorite type of cabbage to eat is savoy cabbage, and I planted it from seed in spring and it is just now starting to form loose heads. I am hoping it will grow well here even though it doesn't get very cold. I may plant it again in fall to see if it prefers the colder weather.
I just started plant red cabbage 1 week ago. Nice tips, peat soil,sand and rotted chicken manure used for the medium. And compost tea will be use for fertilizer.
***** Red cabbage is awesome, I have several growing right now, still small. They have more nutrition than the green cabbage. Nice to know what you use as well!
This is my first time growing cabbage, I have 12 January King variety and 3 tête noire red cabbage so we’ll see how they do in Northern California. I hope it doesn’t get too warm before they form heads. Hopefully late January early feb planting date is ok. I guess I’ll find out. Yours look good! Good info not to plant too close together.
I love your videos! You explain everything so well! My favorite cabbage is the red cabbage. I grow a variety called Cabbage Babies. It produces small heads that I am able to use up within two days. I am looking forward to more videos! Thank you!
skittles99 Glad that you like the videos. I am growing a lot of red cabbage this year after realizing the health benefits. Interesting to know about cabbage babies, will surely try it out in the future! Happy Gardening!!
Hi in my neck of the woods we use the leaves to cook in rice : cabbage and rice. Informative as usual. We also have problems with slugs and the Giant African snail. The hobbyist can also search the underside of the leaves for the cabbage butterfly eggs and destroy them before they metamorphose.
I just started like 60 red cabbage seedlings and it's like mid May! Ayeyiyiyiyi... Not to mention I don't exactly have room for them, summers here are 100+ degrees til September.
Thank you. Fertilize every 15 days with liquid fertilizer and worm tea. So one week use fish/seaweed and second week use worm tea. Then repeat. If using granular fertilizer, apply every month
Thank you for your thoughts is my first time growing cabbage two of my cabbage the leaves are not folding the fertilizer I used is blood meal is that a good fertilizer to used. I grow it into a 5 gallon bucket.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us this is my first time trying to grow anything so I start it off with cabbage the plants are looking healthy in the beginning but they are starting to look bewildered any suggestions you can give meTo help I put fertilizer one time when I painted them that is the only thing that I use
I don't have high expectations since they are in pots kind of like an experiment to see how they perform, will try to post results. Thanks for your tips.
This would be our first year growing cabbage. I will follow your method. Thank you! Please tell me how do you store cabbage for freshness once harvested??
We live in zone 9b central Florida. The temps rarely get cold enough long enough to cause our cabbages to form heads. However we pick the loose leaves and cook, prepare and eat them like "regular" cabbage.
+Roland Close Yes you do need some significant cold time for cabbage heads to develop. Have you tried growing Ferry's Round Dutch? You may want to give it a shot! ruclips.net/video/WmIo7_v5IEM/видео.html
i have ordered a lot of giant pepper seeds this year to see how they will do.and i am going to use compost tea,i used it year before last and couldn't see much difference in it and miracle grow.all my gardening is done in raised beds scene ive gotten older.lol
Alright I appreciate you. You came in handy. Because I wanted to know whether or not you could eat those outer leaves on the cabbage and you can so that's good.
I love the red cabbage. I see that at my grocery store the red ones cost twice what the green ones do. Are they harder to grow? Less productive than green ones?? I love your videos. You organize your information very well and is easy to follow you. Thanks
Cassian YHVH I am growing the red variety this year and will let you know how it goes. The red cabbage is expensive because it sells less than the green cabbage. But the red cabbage is more nutritious than the green/yellow cabbage, so definitely worth growing it in your garden! Thanks for your feedback on the videos!
Mine currently have heads. Their 45 days cabbage and I’m at 45 days now but I’m wait another week or 2 til I harvest. Their still rather small. I too planted them to close together.
yes we grow cabbage and my favourite cabbage variety is VIKIMA that is in malawi.And also I have a question;in my area cabbage plant may seem to grow healthy but you find that at certain age it wilts, when you uproot it you find that the root has developed something like a tuber like sweetpotato like that the death of that plant so what can be the cause and the remedy of this desease
This year 2024, I planted 60 roots from my own plant in the spring... I harvested on October 12th... most of them were barely the size of a man's fist... I had a total of 16 kg from them... !!! Someone told me that it's because of the heat this year in Slovakia... since I'm putting it in a barrel for fermentation, I had to buy more... what do you think?
my cabbage plants are huge but barely any heads in them?? i planted back in Feb. Thank you for this video, i learned they can take months to really grow heads. I thought i had done something wrong since this was the first time to plant. Maybe they'll still do something :)
+Rachael Watson Yes it does take time, so please wait till they form heads! Cabbages are one of the vegetables I do not like for the time they take to produce LOL
My niece received a mega cabbage? from her school. She lives in an apartment, so I will be taking it and seeing how I do. I've never grown food before.
In your zone 10 when do you plant by seed and/or put out transplants? I didn't hear him mention it if anyone else has recommendations for zones 9-10 when you plant your cabbage seeds or transplants I would greatly appreciate it! I have never grown it and want to start planning to hopefully get it right lol. Great video as always, so informative!
In a 4x4 bed, I'd plant 4 seedlings to get full size heads. Some varieties do well when crowded. The heads are smaller, but if you don't eat an entire head at once, smaller heads may be good for you.
Hi California Gardening, I have just gotten some Giant Russian Cabbage seeds. Have you ever heard of them, if you have can you give me some suggestions on growing them. Thanks for your time, I enjoy your videos.a
+Regina Leathers I have never tried giant russian cabbage but will see if I can get the seeds. I have posted a video on growing giant vegetables which you might find useful: ruclips.net/video/Su9hWmAJpVA/видео.html
Another great video!! Thank you. 👍👍👍 Quick question or 2... How long can i leave cabbage in the ground?.. Will it turn bitter like lettuce if i wait too long?
Thank you for your informative video. I noticed some "holes" on the leaves and wasn't sure what was causing it. Now I know what to do. Also, my plants began flowering this week. Do I trim the flowers off?
Hi, You mentioned you can eat the outside part of the cabbage that you've peeled out, and it taste different. Can you describe the taste of difference? Also, can you do a video on growing ornament cabbage?
I want to know where can I find the net and do I wrap it around the cabbage plants or just lay it on top. Would it be better to use a net with small openings. Thank you
@@CaliforniaGardening I tried this and it didn't work. I was thinking of using cheese cloth next season to keep them off the cabbage. That will let the sun shine in won't it?
hi fab vid im doing cabbages for the first time and planted the seeds in the same pot (space saving) could i filter them to separate ones now they have come through there still small . or will they not grow very big sorry if a silly question thankyou x
What variety is your green cabbage? My cabbages have been in my garden for four months. My green cannonball cabbage isn't much smaller than yours but the heads are firm. The giant red cabbage is huge but have only just begin to form heads.
Congrats on another very successful harvest. No place for cabbage in my tiny container garden. You are pretty sorted with everything that you grow. The only video of yours I saw where you didn't get a harvest were the potatoes. Did you try those again? I tried potatoes 6 times with no success. The stems just melt away after a very successful initial growth. May be I am trying to hill determinate potatoes :):)
Thank you. I live his videos...cuz you know I am a plant freak and his videos are so easy and enjoyable to watch....but I was hoping someone would respind to his question at the end and you did. What makes these your favourites?
sherecep I used this one: amzn.to/1ArANn1 - very cheap from amazon and can be cut into multiple areas to cover. Its best to use after 1 month or so when the leaves start getting large
Are the cabbages ruined if there is insect damage? I have a few that are growing in my back yard, but have no idea if they are ruined or not. (also noticed a few slugs on the plants)
Can we weed out the canopy while the plant is still growing? Both for cabbage and cauliflowers. Would the plant concentrate more on the fruit if we weed out a few leaves if there are too many? Thanks
Gaurav Mittal That is not recommended. The plant uses its entire canopy to develop the buds. Actually slugs/snail chew on the side leaves, which you can throw any ways!
Thanks for the netting tip! I lost all but one cabbage and brussel sprouts from the cabbage worms last year, I tried covering them with cheesecloth, but it was after they were bigger and I ended up trapping some hungry worms inside them and they made an all-you-eat buffet from them. This year I starting picking eggs off early but we had a heat wave (PA) and most of them bolted. Am I correct that they will not mature after they have sent up flower stalks? I tried cutting them off but they came right back. So frustrating because we should be in a cool period (50's now) but our weather keeps going up and down dramatically. I pulled them all but right now they are in containers until I decide what to do w/ them.
Brenda Collins Nice to know you liked the netting tip! I have never let a cabbage go to seed but yes, they will not mature after that. Happy Gardening!
Where did you get your B.T. from ? I checked with local home center but none of them sell it. The netting you are using looks quite big size of holes to stop bugs and butterfly. I think that netting is designed to stop birds eating fruit & Veggie. What is the smallest hole size item number for this netting if you have any idea. I have ordered nylon netting fabric that called Tule bolt which is pretty thin but i could not find anything else that would work for me. I have not received my netting yet but i have seen few green larva already eating my cabbage , broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard green and brussol sprout that i have planted this year in fall season.
+Rudra Sharma The netting will deter the butterflies as they do not take a chance even if the holes might be a little bigger than them. You can buy the BT as well as the new on amazon: amzn.to/20zBJAd and amzn.to/1MnDYQX

I'm growing red cabbage. the heads haven't formed yet so I've been cooking the leaves like you would collared greens. very tasty.
I actually grew a plan out of the base of the cabbage that I was about to cook. It made a bunch of pods the has seeds in it. I tried planting the seeds and they grew after a week.

They look great. I would be very happy if mine turn out like that. You can eat the leaves you took off too.
yes just cut off the brown parts. Supermarket cabbage usually gets sprayed so the outer leaves I then tend to throw away.

The net idea is a perfect tip. Thanks.
I LOVE your accent! XD and your videos are really good.
Thank you! Nice to know you like my videos. Happy Gardening!
Now, as a young gardener, I finally know why my cabbages are tiny.
Same here...mine were small and I thought "duh" to myself. I have a small garden and tried to plant too much in a small area.
very nice looking cabbages, I am motivated to grow some now. Nice tips on the netting

In zone 10, when should I start seeds to get them mature by December 25th?
I grow several types, I grow Early and Late Flat Dutch, Jersey and Stonehead, they all do very well here in Ohio in my experiences with them.
In a 4x4 bed, I'd plant 4 seedlings to get full size heads. Some varieties do well when crowded. The heads are smaller, but if you don't eat an entire head at once, smaller heads may be good for you.

Do you have videos of brussel sprout growing
Another great video!! Thank you. 👍👍👍
Quick question or 2...
How long can i leave cabbage in the ground?.. Will it turn bitter like lettuce if i wait too long?

What variety is your green cabbage? My cabbages have been in my garden for four months. My green cannonball cabbage isn't much smaller than yours but the heads are firm. The giant red cabbage is huge but have only just begin to form heads.
It is June 11 is it to later to start seeds? What are the best months to start seeds in Southern California?
Yes a little late, start in August to plant in September

Thanks for sharing, i grow cabbage for the first time, about 2 months old, today some plants are wilted. Do you know what caused wilted leaves?
Is it advisable to remove canopy leaves for a bigger cabbage head.
hi I like your video do you use a specific type of netting? and a early dp you start using it?
sherecep I used this one: amzn.to/1ArANn1 - very cheap from amazon and can be cut into multiple areas to cover. Its best to use after 1 month or so when the leaves start getting large
ty for sharing...great video
*here in socal where I also live it starts pretty much never it's kinda like summer all year long but I guess we only have 2 seasons, Rainy and Hot*
In getting little bugs on the bottom of the leaves and it is sticky. Tried different plant soaps and didn't work. Any thoughts?
hello....could you please tell me what kind of net are you using to protect the cabbage? Where can I buy the same?
What’s the size and type of net do you use? Do you have a link available?
Are the cabbages ruined if there is insect damage? I have a few that are growing in my back yard, but have no idea if they are ruined or not. (also noticed a few slugs on the plants)
Yes they are but you can just remove the damaged leaves and use the inside ones. The slugs usually cannot get inside the buds!

Brenda Collins Nice to know you liked the netting tip! I have never let a cabbage go to seed but yes, they will not mature after that. Happy Gardening!
Thanks!
Best channel
bountiful harvest ! :)
+Faiza Nawaz Thanks!
Where did you get your B.T. from ? I checked with local home center but none of them sell it. The netting you are using looks quite big size of holes to stop bugs and butterfly. I think that netting is designed to stop birds eating fruit & Veggie. What is the smallest hole size item number for this netting if you have any idea. I have ordered nylon netting fabric that called Tule bolt which is pretty thin but i could not find anything else that would work for me. I have not received my netting yet but i have seen few green larva already eating my cabbage , broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard green and brussol sprout that i have planted this year in fall season.
+Rudra Sharma The netting will deter the butterflies as they do not take a chance even if the holes might be a little bigger than them. You can buy the BT as well as the new on amazon: amzn.to/20zBJAd and amzn.to/1MnDYQX
