Growing cabbages even in SAN DIEGO | Planting, fertilizing & harvesting PRO TIPS

Cabbage varieties for southern growers are very different than that of other regions. For growing in a warm region, your cabbage varieties should be heat tolerant. Our varieties are specifically chosen for southern growers. While they can grow nicely in northern areas too, we focus on qualities that will produce nicely in Zones 9 and 10. Cabbages are in the brassica family, and we recommend transplanting them all for the most success here in zone 10. The trays allow us to keep the soil moist for the seeds. Once they get their first true leaves, it's time to fertilize! If you are starting the seeds for a fall planting in Zones 9 and 10, you will want to start your seeds in a cool environment. This can be indoors, under the shade of a tree, in a cooled greenhouse, or in a shade house. Cabbage transplants will not thrive in high temperatures. We recommend you find the coolest area of your garden and construct a temporary shade house using our shade cloth. This will keep your transplants healthy until it is cool enough to transplant them out. When planting your cabbage seeds, plant them on top of thoroughly moistened high-quality seed starting soil. Cover the seeds with 1/4” of finely sifted soil. Once your seedlings have germinated and have a set of true leaves you will need to regularly fertilize with an organic liquid fertilizer to ensure happy plants. Transplant out cabbage plants when they are about 5-6” tall. Cabbage should be planted in a full sun location with fertile and well-draining soils. It is a good practice to incorporate compost and a granular fertilizer into the soil before you plant. Cabbages are heavy feeders. Space plants at least 24” apart since they are big plants!
