Growing Danish Ballhead Cabbage Vegetable Garden Seeds
Danish Ballhead Cabbage Growing Directions:
For this heirloom ballhead cabbage to grow from seed, it is very important for it to receive sun, water, and nutrients throughout its life cycle. Add compost to the soil when sowing the Danish Ballhead seeds as well as transplanting, and be sure that your cabbage garden has full, or at least partial, exposure to sun. The soil also should be very moist throughout the cabbage plant's growth period. Water brassica oleracea car. capitata every week. Sown Danish cabbage seeds indoors and transplant after a few weeks when there is no threat of frost, or sow cabbage seeds directly outside if the climate is warm enough. Harden off the cabbage seedlings over a week for the best results when transplanting them. Keep the plants 1 ½" apart with rows 3" apart so that they have room to flourish. The ballheads will firm and about eight inches in diameter when they are ready to be harvested. Take out the entire plant including the root and stem when harvesting these heads. Try a growing a paper packet of cabbage seeds which should be more than enough for one growing season.
