Growing instructions:
Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, keeping the soil warm (around 18–22°C) and moist for optimal germination. Once seedlings are ready, transplant them outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 30–40 cm apart. Cabbages prefer consistent moisture, so regular watering is essential. Fertilizing with a balanced nutrient solution will promote healthy growth. Harvest the heads when they are firm and mature, and before they start to split.
