When to plant cabbage – how to get the timing right for different types

Cabbages growing in the field in sunshine.

There are many different types of cabbages you can grow, and they all need to be planted at different times. The numerous types vary in shape and are classified by their harvest time – and importantly, the type they are dictates when you want to sow and plant cabbages.

I have grown many varieties of cabbages in vegetable gardens over the years, growing them for chefs at restaurants and also to sell to the public. I sowed, planted, and grew a mix of types of cabbages to have the longest harvesting season.
