Cabbage grows best in cold weather. So try not to grow them in summer as they will bolt. But if you grow them in fall you may overwinter the stem left in the soil and harvest another crop in early spring. Thank you very much for visiting!😊

Hey your videos are the best I've seen! Never Stop! Also planning on growing some cauliflower soon, do you think if I followed these steps for cabbage it'd still work out. Every other video I find on cauliflower just drags on and on giving me no information. All my other vegetables have been grown based off your guides :) please help lol, even if I have to tweak the process a little.

[@TowardGarden]

Thank you very much for the comment. The process for cauliflower from sowing to planting is pretty much same as cabbage. Once planted, feed with a balanced fertilizer (such as 5-5-5) instead of nitrogen rich fertilizer. Also you might need to provide some support for the plants as they grow. I hope this helps and best of luck to you.

These look so cute, like babies growing in pots!! I had trouble last year growing kale and kalettes, they got infested with cabbage white caterpillars which was unpleasant. I'm going to try again with a net, do you cover brassicas with nets? How do you deal with pests that target them?

[@TowardGarden]

Either netting or I use neem oil mix to prevent. If you see the caterpillars, use B.T. natural bacteria solution. In any cases the best is to monitor and control them at early stages. Sometime I get fooled by how great the leaves look, but when I check underneath, I see the eggs. So make sure to check both sides of the leaves. I might be wrong, but I have many birds in my backyard and I think they enjoy the caterpillar diet too🤷‍♂️. I hope this helps. Thanks again for visiting and happy gardening.😊

These videos are so helpful. Just wondering what you do with the soil after harvesting? Can you get the roots out and use of for something else?

[@TowardGarden]

So glad you found my videos helpful. Yes, you can reuse the old potting soil by removing old roots from the soil and add fresh compost (composted manure, garden compost,...) and/or general purpose organic fertilizer for a new potting soil. A ratio of 1/3 to 1/2 fresh compost to the mix will work. I will try to post a video on reusing old potting soil in future. Thank you very much for your comment!

Hi, good video as always👍 I’m wondering.. Will the plant regrow after harvesting?

B.T. or (Bacillus Thuringiensis) is a naturally occurring bacteria and one of the most common pest control to kill leaf eating caterpillars like cabbage worms, bagworms, leafrollers, tent caterpillars, gypsy moth larvae,.... It can be applied as a liquid or powder and you can find several varieties certified as organic. You may also use garden netting to control caterpillars if you don't wish to use any pesticides.

[@TowardGarden]

Glad you love my videos. Depending on the condition you are sowing seeds, you need to adjust light, heat, and mainly watering. I have tried (and failed) many times to find the best way that works for me. If your seedlings die after germination, probably it is due to “damping-off,” a fungal disease. Try to sprinkle some baking soda around the seedlings (not too much) and do not over water them. I hope this helps. Thank you again for visiting and Good Luck!

I try to avoid having pots sitting on the grass too. One of the best options is to use metal shelving units. You can have them on short legs, about 1 ft to elevate shelves from ground so grass don't get damaged. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!

Love the video so far, planning to grow my own veggies for my family but we live in a small apartment with other tenants but we do have a small patio that's meshed off. Can I grow cabbages in the shade and still get a chance to harvest?

[@TowardGarden]

Cabbages actually like being in part shade specially in warmer weather and will grow well. Thank you so much for your comment and happy gardening!

@@TowardGarden thank you so much for the advice!

Thanks very much for sharing. I have a couple of questions please: The post size 10” what depth are they? What do you do with the potting mix at the end of growing.

[@TowardGarden]

Hi. The pots are 12" deep, but any pot with at least 8" depth will work too. You can reuse the potting mix after harvest. Check my video here on how I do that kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ3QkqWip9yZhqssi=ylBCwbbhd8Y2OjCe . Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!

Really enjoying watching all your videos learning a lot. Could I do broccoli the same way as cabbage ?

[@TowardGarden]

Love to hear it. The process is about same for broccoli. And broccoli video coming soon.😀Thank you so much for your comment!

How often do you use the neem (aphids) and bt spray (worms)? If you make some of the spray solution can I leave In my sprayer or should I dump it out and make a fresh batch each month or so?

[@TowardGarden]

The idea is to prevent and control. So you should start applying at first sings of infestation. For both I suggest to use every 2-3 days until gone. And it is better to make a new batch to be on the safe side. Thanks.

Hi I just watch quite a few of your awesome vids 👌 I just want to ask, is there a reason you start all of them off in trays and not sow directly? Would like to know if there is. Thanks! 😊

[@TowardGarden]

Hi. I found many benefits to starting seeds in trays: The growing media is more easier to control and manage. The temperature requirements, soil condition, light are few of them. I prefer this for vegetables that benefit from starting ahead and not for all my crops. I just share what works for me best but agree that you can sow directly many of the plants and get the same results. I hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!

What did you do with the other plant when you thinned them out in the beginning

[@TowardGarden]

Extra seedlings go to our compost bin. Thank you for visiting.

The music makes you hungry lol Nice video comrade 😅

😄 never thought about that. Thank you very much for your comment!

[@Harmonylovess]

I have learned so much from your videos thank you so much for expounding your knowledge on this skill you are truly a blessing, God Bless You. I have a question when watering from the start of seedlings as well as watering in grow bags do you water your plants until the water comes out of the bottom of the bag?

[@TowardGarden]

So glad found my videos helpful! For the seedlings, you just need to water so that the soil is moist, if it doesn't run off, that's ok too. or better if bottom water them- or you soak them in a tray of water. I will try to post a video on how to water seedlings soon. But for the grow bags, yes, water them deep so it come off from the bottom of the bag. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!😊

Those are prettier than roses to me! mmm....curtido, stirfry, soup, stew, roasted, braised and a fresh slaw! Oh the many ways to enjoy cabbage. EAT MORE.

[@TowardGarden]

yummy, what a tasty comment🤤. Thank you so much!

[@esudesu93]

Do you need to grow from the seeds again for second harvest? Or they would grow again from the cutting stem?

[@TowardGarden]

If the weather is cool enough, leaves will regrow from stem left in soil. They may not mature to full size head, but you sure can use the tender leaves. The best is to start again from seed for a healthy mature heads. Thanks for visiting.

[@brandonmonroe7050]

I just ordered red express seeds after watching this video. Its is very well made. What was the real actual days to harvest from seed on the red express? Package says 65 but I'm sure thats a stretch.

[@TowardGarden]

So glad you enjoyed the video. yes, 65 days is a bit optimistic, but sometimes I am able to harvest them in 70-75 days. Usually it would take 75-85 days to harvest. The colder, the longer it will take. Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!
