Planting Cabbage - November 2011 - Fall Garden

Tips, Tricks

1. the seeds takes to long to come up to beat the grass so try this it works great after planting the seed and watering cover the seeds with a board 2 x 4 and the seeds will come up in about 3 days with no grass at all then put a little dust to the plants to keep the grass away
2. hydroponics. I plan to try some deep water hydro for lettuce soon. Look it up!
3. Thanks for the tips.....Donald
4. I shred my cabbage like for slaw and then steam till transparent and spread out on dehydrator trays ..Wonderful as a dehydrated food for stews or added to stir fry ..The flavor of sweet cabbage livens up everything from plain hot cooked rice just a tad soupy with a few handfuls of dehydrated cabbage crumbled up and stirred in with a lid cover and no heat ,wait about 10 min and enjoy ..but I dehydrate watermelon too ,,almost everything really improves flavor yet requires no jars,or freezer woes
5. Best advice I can give you is get online and do a search for a vegetable planting guide for your area. These are usually published by a university in your Zone. It’ll give varieties, fertilization, spacing, planting depth and when to plant……Donald
6. About the only vegs I'll start in peat pots are my tomatoes, peppers and eggplant. I plant the rest directly in the garden then thin when they come up.......Donald

10. @pvapva333 … The cabbage I would blanch and freeze. Lettuce eat fresh……Donald

12. @webcajun I love watching your videos because your climate is so much different to ours. My parents live in Spain, and my mum will be starting her Spring planting about now.
13. @clairesallotment … Seeding directly into the garden works in the fall cause you’re planting while it’s still warm. For the spring garden we need to start the seeds inside……..Donald
14. Very interesting, thank you. We have to start the seeds inside in a greenhouse because it's too cold when they need to be sown.
15. @Teddybearcop48 ... Start your plants 6-8 weeks before you plan on planting them out in the garden. The calendar on my web site may help......Donald
16. @sharons04 ... I planted “Copenhagen Market” which seems to hold real well in the garden…….Donald
