Sow indoors beginning in late winter and transplant outdoors from 2 weeks after the last frost date to early summer. Overwintering cabbage is sown outdoors during July where winters are mild. Optimal soil temperature: 10-30�C (50-85�F). Seeds should germinate in 7-10 days.
When learning how to grow cabbage, sow 3 or 4 seeds per pot, 5mm (��) deep, under very bright light. Thin to the strongest plant. Space transplants 45-60cm (18-24?) apart in rows 60-90cm (24-36?) apart.
