Gardener’s Tip: Cabbages are heavy feeders—prepare your soil well with aged compost. As the heads begin to form, you can hill up the soil around the base to stabilize the heavy plant. Keep a eye out for signs of Cabbage White Butterfly larvae on the outermost leaves and act early if found. Cabbage White Butterfly decoys can also be effective.
