DESCRIPTION
Growing Golden Acre Cabbage Garden Seeds
Growing Directions:
This variety of cabbage can be sown directly outdoors, but in many climates, it is recommended to start them indoors and transplant later on. When transplanting, be sure to harden off the plants throughout an eight-day period. Seeds should be sown in either full or partial sun with about ¼" of moist and composted soil packed on top of them. Keep plants about 1-2 feet apart and lay them in rows 3 feet apart. Water each seed with about two inches of water throughout each week. The heads should begin to firm up at around 65 days, and when this happens, they are ready for harvest. Each head will be between 5 and 7 inches in diameter. To harvest them, remove the root and stem from the ground with the head. This will ensure that your soil stays healthy afterward.
