All About The Garden

Are you tired of the same old lettuce in your salads? Want to spice things up with some greens that pack a punch? Then it’s time to try growing cabbage! Not only is it a versatile vegetable, but it’s also packed with health benefits that will make you want to add it to every meal.

First things first, let’s talk about how to grow this cruciferous veggie. Cabbage loves cool weather, so it’s best to plant it in the spring or fall. Give it some room to grow, about 18-24 inches between each plant, and make sure it gets plenty of water and sunshine. And don’t forget to fertilize! A little TLC will go a long way in producing a juicy head of cabbage.
