Sandy soil produces earlier crops but heavier soils give a later but larger yield.
Cabbage plants started indoors take 4 to 6 weeks to get a suitable transplant. Plant spring crops outdoors in early April and fall crops in late June. Space rows 24 to 30 inches apart with plants 18 to 24 inches apart. Seedlings can be set a little deeper than they were growing in the flat. Radishes or other fast maturing crops can be grown between the cabbage plants.
