How to know that a cabbage is ready for harvest?
What about if you start growing them at february
how often do you water the cabbage?
Love your channel, will be sharing.
Says that the leaves turn blue when cooked... From experience I can say that the leaves turn into a pale pink (looks like pale rose petals) and the water turns purple.
I always love watching your videos. You are so knowledgeable. I am very surprised the leaves are not eaten. We have so many bugs in VA. What zone are you in?
Cheers!

Gorgeous cabbage and thanks for sharing you can grow cabbage in containers. I want to try this.
I love purple cabagge in salads! Will probably try it next season. Very well done video. I like to see the whole process in just one video. Congratulations!
A beautiful red Cabbage there. Do you just boil and eat as a side veg with salt and pepper . Or another way? Thanks for sharing
I haven't grown this variety, but I have grown cone head cabbage. I used a large container and the head was on the smaller side as you mentioned. However, I was pleased with the results. I had no insect or disease issues and the flavor was very nice. It's much less pungent than a white cabbage.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and harvest with us. :)
Nice video. This has inspired me to want to try growing cabbage next year. I love to eat purple cabbage raw. :)
Dumb question: are the outside leaves edible? Thanks for the videos, always good info!
Very nice video. Leave the stalks for smaller heads but still tasty
