This video depicts our 2009 growing season, which was the coolest summer we've ever experienced in Michigan. We credit the cool temps for the HUGE cabbage.

Hi, nice video! Do you know if it is possible to have a second harvest from a cabbage plant. In case it is, how would you do that?

[RandomHelena]

lucky!

[Oldbuckettman]

just wow.. nice cabbage.

We don't use pesticides on the cabbage. When you harvest them you can soak the heads in cold salt water, just in case any bugs or worms are nesting in them. If you do have troubles with bugs or worms, I recommend Googling "natural pesticides" or "home remedies for garden pests." Best wishes for a successful garden this year!

what's the best spray to spray the cabbage and tomotoes with for bugs, I don't want to ruin the taste with pesticides

[mb980992]

I purchased a cabbage in a pot , the leaves are growing nice i see that its possibly growing the head. i want to keep up with it , this is my first time growing cabbage and need some helpful ideas

@mb980992

Plant it in good soil, fertilize it, give it adequate water, and If you have a cool spring and summer it will thrive.

When I harvest my giant heads, I just twist off the head and leave the white core and in a week 5 little heads start forming. They are good,

[misskisskadee]

what month u star planting cabbage?

[michaelstanger]

Nice cabbage

[mattydgk]

its my new job and to be quite honest it looks easy but its really hard.. and rough

[04151956donald]

We're in Michigan. The harvest from this video came in July of 2009. In 2009 we had a wet spring and an unusually cool summer...and the cabbage thrived!

[Geefa1234]

which state are you living??

I like to grow a lot but never succes in growing cabage

[04151956donald]

Thank you for your comments. Around the perimeter of the garden are simply Marigolds. My husband and I collect our seed heads from each previous year, dig a 1/4" trench around the border, and spread the seeds. We use French Marigolds and tall orange and yellow. I've been told that, if you cut across the stem without pulling the plant out, four mini cabbages will grow out of the stem. We will try that this year.

Very cool. We grew a garden this year for the first time and planted three cabbage plants. Was looking for how to harvest cabbage and found your video.

Question: What do you have planted around the perimeter of the garden? Is it some type of natural insect deterrent plants?

[bc0wful]

imagine 1 acre of those things, selling ea for 1.50? 43k cabbages? 43,000 x 1.50 = 64,500

then subtract all expenses and theres your profit.

[Histrumpetsounds]

cool

[powerspade]

Instead of pulling up the cabbage try cutting it and then make a cut in the shape of a cross in the stem. Ina fewe weeks yoou will get a crop of four mini cabbage from the cut stem
