Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Brunswick cabbage performs well in cooler climates and is perfect for making sauerkraut due to its flavorful, crisp leaves. This variety prefers cool weather and ample, even moisture. In the heat of summer, overhead watering can be used to cool the cabbage and prevent bolting.
When to Grow
Brunswick cabbage is best grown in the cooler seasons. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area. For fall harvest, sow seeds in mid-summer, about 6-8 weeks before the first expected frost. The plant is frost-tolerant, so it can survive light frosts, making it ideal for late-season planting.
How to Sow and Plant
Start seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting trays. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide good light. Once seedlings have 2-3 leaves and after the risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors, spacing plants 18-20 inches apart in rows 24-36 inches apart. You can also direct sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-prepared soil outdoors.
How to Grow
Cabbage thrives in rich, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5 to 7.0. Provide consistent moisture to avoid splitting heads. Cabbage requires regular watering, especially during dry periods. Use a balanced fertilizer when planting, then side-dress with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer every few weeks. Full sun is ideal, although some afternoon shade can be beneficial in hotter climates.
How to Save
- If you plan to save seeds, isolate plants from other members of the cabbage species (kale, collards, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower) by up to one mile to avoid cross pollination.
- Cabbage is biennial, blooming only after experiencing a winter's chill, and will require overwintering with heavy mulch and row cover in cool winter areas.
- For those with very harsh winters, consider digging up and placing in a root cellar until hard frost has passed.
- In the second season, when flowers have passed and seed pods have dried, dig up the plants and hang upside down to dry.
- Dried pods can be placed in a sack and crushed to release seeds. Remove chaff and detritus.
- Place seeds in a glass jar and refrigerate for up to 5 years.
