Growing Tips:

  • Planting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix, keeping the soil temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Transplant seedlings outdoors when they have 3-4 true leaves, spacing them 12-18 inches apart in rows 18-24 inches apart.
  • Sunlight: Savoy cabbage thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth and head formation.
  • Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Incorporate organic compost or well-rotted manure into the soil to provide essential nutrients.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilizing: Feed plants with a balanced organic fertilizer every 3-4 weeks to support strong growth and head development.

Harvesting Tips:

  • When to Harvest: Harvest Savoy cabbage when the heads are firm and dense, typically 70-90 days after transplanting. The heads should feel solid when gently squeezed.
  • How to Harvest: Cut the heads from the base of the plant with a sharp knife, leaving the outer leaves attached to protect the head during storage.
  • Storage: Store harvested cabbage heads in a cool, humid environment, such as a refrigerator or root cellar. Properly stored, they can last several weeks to a few months.
