Cabbage is a cool-season vegetable that grows best in full sun with consistently moist, fertile, well-draining soil. Plant in spring or fall when temperatures are between 45–75°F, and fertilize regularly with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer to support leafy growth. Watch for common pests such as cabbage worms and aphids, and rotate crops each season to prevent soil-borne diseases.
