Easy Planting - Sowing English Cabbage

The vegetation of a good land comes forth (easily) by the permission of its Lord; and that which is bad, brings forth nothing but (a little) with difficulty. Thus do We explain variously the Ayat for a people who give thanks. (7:58)

Assalamualaikum,

English cabbages normally take more than 4 months to matured, somehow depends on variety also. to suite the weather at your place, sow the cabbage based on the season. like here in Fiji, cooler weather will started by end of May, so if i  want to be among the earliest gardener to harvest i must plant my cabbages by February and inshaallah by Mid June, it will be ready.
 
Here my simple steps of sowing,

1. Get  fresh seeds from supermarket or nursery or any places where normally sell seeds. make sure the seed expiry date more than a year. old seeds would not grow at all or not grow well normally.

2. This is how to seeds look like,

 3. Sow the small amount of seeds (depends on yr need), in a small container, don't have cover with much soil. give some space between the seeds. watering twice a day. put the container in the place where you can get full sun.

 3. After 3 days it started to germinate,


 4. One week after,

 5. After 10 days, leaves and plants became much bigger,

 6.  By 2 weeks, another leaf formed. And now is ready for transplant.

 And if you like to have continuous supply of  cabbages without having to buy from market, keep sowing new seeds after transplant (every 2 weeks).

wassalam.
