How to grow more cabbages from store bought cabbage

[@CarterKey6]

This definitely works I let my son plant one in my pepper garden last year and I have already harvested 6 heads

[@LittlePieceofHeavenFarm]

We also have grown a bunch of veggies from the grocery store. Haven’t really thought about cabbage. What a great idea Sara!

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

I hope you try it! It's fun to watch the cabbages grow. I grow alot from the grocery store, but this is my favorite.

[@oluwanifemikim1996]

God is so greattt❤ Bought 1 cabbage and got 6 free one Thanks Jesus ❤

[@mikojohnson1940]

Yessss ❤❤❤❤

[@tmontero8492]

Your video is so cool! Never realized this! The loose outer leaves you've grown are quite nutritious and delicious sliced in thin strips and cooked in a variety of dishes. Thanks for sharing!

[@Jakuri93]

Everything is becoming so expensive at the moment so for my own sake i started to grow stuff myself from the grocery store vegetables, this was a great tutorial thanks you for sharing :D

[@mamajan99]

Great Video! I will definitely do it. I just counted over 160 tomatoes growing in a spare bedroom under cheap LED lights along with my arugula, kale, green onions and rosemary! Done it for years in the winter. They will need to make room for cabbage now! PS: I always plant green onions inside as soon as I buy them from the store and then cut off the top when I need some, and they will keep growing. I use the adjustable steel wire shelving. One shelf on the bottom for the potted plants and a top shelf to hang lights and support the vines.

Just what I was looking for!! THANK YOU 💗

[@tammydevane1785]

Thank you so much for showing us this appreciate it❤❤❤😊

[@geekygardens]

That's one I haven't tried and I love growing things from the GROWcery store. I've found cutting an X on the bottom of the stem seems to promote root growth, at least on the celery I keep growing.

[@JoniDiMaggio]

@geekygardems I heard that you can dip the base (the part that will grow the roots) in honey, wrap a paper towel around it then emerse it in water. I haven't tried that yet because I'm currently using some rooting powder I bought at Home Depot which works really well.

[@geekygardens]

@@JoniDiMaggio I have heard that honey acts as a rooting hormone but I've never tried it.

[@JoniDiMaggio]

@@geekygardens ok thanks when I try it I'll come back and let you know

[@CL-im9lk]

@@geekygardensI heard cinnamon is also a rooting agent.

[@geekygardens]

@@CL-im9lkThanks! I'll keep that in mind.

[@MtnGrandma]

I have never tried this and I need to!! I've only planted cabbage from seed! Last year I only harvested ONE cabbage lol. I really need to try this! Thanks for sharing! 😊💗👍

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

I struggle with cabbage plants because the deer eat them all. This is just so easy to do, and worth it. $-5 heads from a piece of cabbage, it's so fun!

[@highwayroadrunner206]

Wow, that's amazing!! Thank you for an amazing video..I didn't know you could do that with store bought cabbage. For me it is a “blinding glimpse of the obvious”. Thank you again and Greetings from Greenville, NC.

[@cherylwin9364]

WOW THAT’S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE 😇👍🏾

[@rolandafurr3732]

Thanks for sharing. As a newbie to vegetable gardening and canning, this is fabulous information.

[@jackiecollins7782]

So u got 3 cabbages from one stem brilliant video i got one rooting in water thk u for sharing best video I've seen 😁

[@RagnaroksHomesteading]

This is awesome Sara! I know about growing various things from old store bought plants, but cabbage is one that I did not know about. I can't wait to try this. I'll definitely be experimenting with this one. Thank you!

[@hunnybunnysheavymetalmusic6542]

I EAT those large outer leaves!!! They're the best part!!!

[@Mantras-and-Mystics]

Well @bunnybunny I'm not surprised!

[@KareemHadee]

Me too! They taste just as good as kale and collards IMHO.

[@Writer777-wanna_be.]

@@KareemHadeedo you eat them raw? Or fix them like greens and boil them?

[@KareemHadee]

@@Writer777-wanna_be. I cook the leaves like you would Kale, collards, & Chard. They are very good by them selves or mixed with Kale & Collards. The next time you see kohlrabi at a produce stand buy it with the full stalk (and leaves). If you cook just the leaves by themselves they taste great! Any part of greens such as the stalk (or other inedible parts) you should cut up, and put in the freezer. Take them out and use them in the blender with smoothies! You won't taste them, and they are way healthier than using just plain Ice in your blender.

[@Writer777-wanna_be.]

@@KareemHadee thank you for answering…what oil is best tasting that you use.? I make kraut a lot. I have discovered if you use kosher salt it doesn’t seem to turn dark like other canning salt

[@annsfrench]

Have you ever cut the stem up to make individual plants? Seems like it would work as long as each section had some roots. I’m thinking each head would then have enough room to develop into larger heads.

[@lorece94]

That's a good idea!

[@mariorodrigues3276]

If i use thís métod i would leave ONLY One suckers, and the others when they are big enough i would extract to Root them and then i would plant them...

[@MeowPictures]

Oh, wow, thanks for this video! 😃

[@lisascarbrough5218]

First I’ve heard of doing this with cabbage. Gotta try it!

[@mariorodrigues3276]

Very Awesome, your patiance pays off. Well i do slitly diferent I extract all the suckers, inbyour case i would leave just one in the old stem then, when they are big enough... Root the suckers after extracting them when they are big enough... And after i plant them indvidually ... Because they are adult plants they Will suck nutrientes so you very have plenty of fertilizer , and each of the suckers Will give you a full size cabbage, works for collards too... An old collard can produce Many branches once you cut the top, and fertilize it ... Each branch Will give you a new plant once its big enough...

[@bbggroup8993]

Perfect tutorial!! Wish me luck! 😝

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

I wish you luck!!! I hope you enjoy growing more😀

[@kenbrown438]

Thanks for sharing ; I'm definitely going to try this !!!!

[@kuldipgill8191]

Good job , I just want tell you that you can the outer leaves too they are so good if you boil

[@brandonterrelle]

Wow, I was interested in doing this and your video was the first to pop up. New subscriber here😊.

[@TuellTimeAdventures]

Didn't know you could do this with cabbage. Definitely going to try it.

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

It's so easy to do. I really hope you try it. 😀

[@CC-cr1oz]

Wow! I have no idea that it grows this way. Thank u.

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

That's freaking amazing! You always have something cool, Sara!

[@karenfrankland7763]

I have to try this for sure. I regrow celery, onions, lettuce and carrots but never thought to do cabbage.

[@waynoswaynos]

Hey you rock! Thank you! I'm here because a cabbage I am growing already, my first time growing them, has multiple babies growing. It already has the root system so I will harvest the big cabbage head and leave the little ones to grow and see how it works that way. I suppose I will cut those back and eat them till I have just one monster remaining.

[@schellywagoner8264]

This is the video I've been looking for! Thanks so much !

[@tlnthelastnomad]

Much needed video. I was thinking of buying seeds. Thank you for sharing this.

[@seamus6994]

What a great idea and tip for more cabbage. Thank you so much! I think I will try this your way. But also I think once the leaves begin to grow and you can see each little cabbage. I'll cut them apart as long as they each get a piece of root. And try growing them separately. Liked and subbed!!!

[@DebsWay]

THAT is really interesting, Sara! So many new cabbages out of just the one planted. Amazing!

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

I love growing cabbage this way! 😀

[@dadobawomazomba1240]

So amazing because we have been throwing that part for decades never late to learn thanks for sharing 👍🇿🇦

[@Joan-ej7wv]

thanks I Try it, and now I have baby cabbage coming along.

[@ingridrisinger-parkman2108]

How long does the whole process take. Do you ever have to replant in a larger pot after it outgrown the first pot? Also with them being crammed does that effect how big they get?

[@sandymcqueen4930]

Very good , thank you for sharing . I am going to try this ❤

[@pinkpeonies7912]

Thanks, I have a cabbage growing in the compost bin so now I know what to do.

[@lakshmiswaripati3646]

🤩👌🏼Incredible & Amazing👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thx. God bless ur plants, ur family & u🪷☀️

[@_Lightning_Dog_]

I wonder the finished cabbages would be bigger if you cut them apart after rooting and planted each one in it’s own pot

[@conniewood]

Thanks 😊 yes you helped, this is my first time doing this, I have 6 heads coming out of mine and I didn’t know if I needed to separate them. Again thank you for sharing 🙏🏼

[@sharicampbell9068]

Wow! I am going to try this! My chickens luv cabbage!!!

[@emgeespeaks8397]

DON'T throw out the cabbage leaves. They are good in salads, soup, of cooked with collards. They are also good for Compost.

[@geargriden19]

Well that's awesome on growing cabbages from a cabbage !! *Have a good'nnn*

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

It's fun to grow them this way!

[@mishalea]

Wow, you just have a green thumb, Sara! 😉I can try, but...😁 Have a great weekend! Thx for inspiring!

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

You can do it!! It's easy!

[@thicknessjolly6761]

I am cooking cabbage too and will be planting it to grow on my deck! Thanks for sharing this video! 😁👍🏽👍🏽

[@matchpoint14]

You can also re-grow celery, onions, pineapple, and lettuces!

[@NuffinEdited]

I've got one in water as I type this will update you. I already have a celery growing using this method. Thanks

[@latoyasshadesofflavor4415]

Thank you thank you!!! I started my first one in March she is doing lovely. Now I just place my second one in water today.

[@jessicapearson9479]

That is cool. You may get small cabbage heads but the leaves are also edible. So you get quite a lot out of regrowing the cabbages and you more than make your money back!!

[@nixbondi]

Not really, that compost and fertilizer isn't free and she also said she fertilizes every other week in one of her comments. I reckon by the end of it she has spent more then she has received monetarily and in labour for sure. Great idea but only positive gain returns if the compost and fertilizer you are using is home made and relatively free. I am not trying to be a narc here, I'm just being a realist. No point in kidding ourselves. If you make your own compost and fertilizer this is a brilliant idea.

[@lindseyzacek5211]

Really liked the video thought it was super cool what a great idea

[@springbooth3547]

This is excellent! I will give a try . Thank you !

[@christinasanchez2154]

That’s awesome. Going to give it a try. Thank you for sharing

[@AuroraNatureSounds]

Amazing idea!! One question, Sara: should I put the cabbage when it is forming the roots on the shaddow or in direct sunlight?

[@cliffpinchon2832]

did you ever find out?

[@AuroraNatureSounds]

@@cliffpinchon2832 hi! I put it in my kitchen window and it work. Medium sunlight I would say, as I have a lemon tree outside that blocks most of the sun to that window

[@ttowntrekker5174]

Love love love this vid!!!

[@susangrace4732]

Awesome!

[@ruthtarragano]

How about adding a copper wire to the pot? to increase the ether harvesting ?

[@loveydub]

Really....? wow - what a great idea! I think I'm gonna try it....

[@reginameade1294]

Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing. From the Midlands area. Excited to watch another South Carolinian on gardening!

[@eghe80]

Thanks❤

[@mishalea]

I am rewatching, Sara because I am growing the cabbages in water now. Do you keep it in full sunlight? I have shared this video with friends and they are doing this experiment as well. On Mrs Green Thumb channel is one of them. Thanks as always! Hope you are are staying cool down there. Have a blessed Memorial day weekend!💖

[@time2shinehomestead498]

That's very interesting thanks for sharing the info Gro Dat

[@sheshewoodard3042]

So I'm assuming, you can brake those four heads off. And put them in separate pots to let them get bigger separately?. Love this vedio. Thanks for your teaching

[@JoniDiMaggio]

Nice video. Thank you.

[@marthahoward2359]

I have cabbage in the fridge from St Pattys Day. I'm going to try this for sure. Thanks.

[@geraldinewright8225]

Wow, thank you for sharing!

[@BelindaB777]

Thanks I had no idea 💡 you could do this 💚 I'm going to try it with Savoy Cabbage

[@DIYwithKristi]

Gorgeous!!

[@GP-MB-Baden-WurttembergDeutsch]

Wow thank for the tip put I can crow everything Including ginger afterwards everything it didn't turned out. I love garbage special the red one, the red is more healthy then the green. Thank you for effort to make the video I really appreciate 😊 😉 ❤️

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

I've grown a lot of stuff from grocery stores. The more you try, the more you'll know what works, and doesn't

[@mmommymarnie]

That is so awesome! I am so going to try this!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@Warthunderguy78]

I'm going to do this for my chickens this would save me a bunch if money in feed

[@jocjr97443]

I helped out and a local 4-H St. Patrick day meal. I got put in charge of the cabbage prep. Guess who saved dozens of cabbage ends! 😋 All mine are sprouting well just 1 week later. Question: has anyone divided the ends into separate individual cabbages before planting? I'm thinking of the similar idea that one does with potato starts. This would be more organized and evenly spaced out in the garden rows.

[@kristinalewis7403]

I just bought one medium sized head of organic Napa cabbage that was $8.76! Ouch. I’m hoping to plant it and save myself some money. Thank you for this!!

[@Victoria-dz1jz]

This is AMAZING! I am doing this!

[@Consistentlydetermined]

Thanks for the info, looks great

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

This is genius! Do you ever split the head and plant the little heads separate?

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

I've never split the heads before. I do one ready to be planted, so i will try that. Hopefully it works

[@cheryllaurence9847]

How do you know when they are ready to be harvested?

[@Mantras-and-Mystics]

@@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead Did it work? 🙂

[@charlesroberts3910]

For what you paid for the bag of soil and fertilizer you could of bought 5 or 6 more heads of cabbage

[@jude7321]

Hi Sara ❣️🐦🌿🏡 When you get a lot of cabbages at one time how do you store those? This is the coolest idea I've seen from regrowing from grocery greens. Thank you so much and God bless y'all Jude, from Kentucky ✝️🥀🐴🇺🇲💚

[@janinebell7027]

That is amazeballs!

[@lindafletcher3638]

Cook the cabbage leaves like collard greens

[@juliekelley4573]

Wow! Thanks! I'm trying that.

[@imablank9701]

This is awesome!! I'm definately going to try this!!

[@draganslady7376]

Thank you for this enlightment! Do You leave those 3 heads in the one pot till harvest? The roots will have enough room all together? I'm new to all gardening, seems very overwhelming right now, but I know once I learn it'll be therapeutic.

[@_Lightning_Dog_]

I can’t help, but believe that the finished cabbages would be bigger if the baby cabbages were separated after the rooting process and planted in their own pot

[@ehawolczecki8759]

Wow.

[@heidi.s]

That’s amazing! I had no idea. Will definitely try it. Thanks!

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

It's a lot of fun to grow! I hope you do try it

[@Writer777-wanna_be.]

@ The Big Blue House Homestead …..I always wondered how you could get seeds from them thank you so much. Can you tear off each mini cabbage & it’s root and plant them in the garden?

[@pauleff3312]

Thank you for sharing that. I live alone and eat 2 cabbages a week on average. I can see I could become self sufficient in this in a short space of time - they take about 2 months to grow, don't they?

[@marcygrote3800]

Sunny window, or dark cabinet for the initial time period? Please, thank you.

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

I just left mine on the kitchen counter. 😀

[@NeverRelaxAroundCats]

got seperate those when they are little bc cabbage gets very big, takes up a lot of space. I cut the stem up in pieces, I make brand new cabbages from each leaf, too.

[@cindysplace]

That's so cool! Thanks for this. I will be doing this!

[@nixbondi]

Nice work, but how much does that store bought soil/compost and fish fertilizer cost? Kind of defeats the purpose if the original cabbage you bought cost $2 and then you spend maybe $10 on compost & fertilizer to grow another 4 or 5 cabbages. Right?

[@Peekarica]

Imagine if you are living off-grid somewhere in the middle of nowhere and you can regrow a lot of the vegetables.. you can basically generate food on a large field to survive on your own. I saw it in a video of a couple living in the wilderness of Canada. It was amazing how large the vegetables field was..

[@TheBigBlueHouseHomestead]

When growing a lot of cabbage, you have to eat a lot of cabbage. Growing from a store bought stem, helps keep a fresh supply.

[@fiona3092]

I started this yesterday but put straight in soil as it was forming little roots will it work i also covered with abag should it be left in open air while forming roots just experimenting at mo thanks for any advice you can give 👍

[@kristen7775]

Wondering if you can separate the cluster of heads and replant them to give them more room to grow individually??

[@hannah3845]

Love this!!!

[@realmommee8093]

New to this. Besides flowers only grown green onions in kitchen. Concern have lot of bird traffic leaving their droppings on driveway and porch and patio and forever cleaning hosing down. How can I deal with possibility bird droppings dropping twixt and between the vegetable leaves? Thanks for sharing.

[@glendabenard3772]

This is very interesting.
