How Do I Sow Thompson & Morgan Spring Cabbage April Seeds?

Garden tip: Thompson & Morgan seed packets show full details of sowing and transplanting instructions.

Direct Sowing Seeds

Direct sow outdoors into a well-prepared seedbed, for transplanting to their final positions later on. Sow at a depth of 13 mm (1/2") and distance of 23 cm (9") between rows.

Sowing Seeds Inside

Sow seed at a depth of 12 mm (1/2") in trays of free-draining, damp seed compost and cover with a layer of vermiculite. Place in a heated propagator at a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until germination, which takes 4 -7 days.

Once germinated, grow Cabbage plants on in cooler conditions until all risk of frost has passed and plants are large enough to be transplanted with 2-3 true leaves.

Transplanting Cabbage Seedlings To Final Positions

Gradually acclimatise cabbage seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7 - 10 days before planting them in moist, rich, well drained soil in full sun.

Plant cabbages at a distance of 50cm (20") apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Place a collar around the stem of each plant to prevent cabbage root fly attacks. Water the plants thoroughly after planting.

Garden tip: Cabbages require high levels of nitrogen, so a fertile soil is essential. Prepare the soil in early spring by adding plenty of well rotted farmyard manure to the soil. This improves the soil structure and fertility. Apply lime to acid soils to reduce the acidity and lower the risk of clubroot.
