When is the best time to plant cabbage?

Cabbage can be grown in both cool and warm seasons. The best time to plant cabbage depends on the variety and your local climate:

1. Cool-Season Cabbage:

- Spring: Early spring is the best time to plant cool-season cabbage varieties. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost.

- Fall: Cool-season cabbage can also be planted in late summer or early fall, about 8-10 weeks before the first fall frost date. This allows the cabbage to mature before the cold weather sets in.

2. Warm-Season Cabbage:

- Summer: Warm-season cabbage varieties are best planted in late spring or early summer. Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last spring frost date or direct sow outdoors after the last frost date.

Remember to check your specific region's growing season and consider factors like frost dates, weather conditions, and cabbage variety maturity time when planning your planting dates.
