Hi Lee, I had success with dwarf drum head cabbages recently (my first ever). I was very happy with the result. No need to tie leaves together, the outer leaves spread out and the centre formed by itself. I did need to spray with my home made garlic-chilli spray to keep grubs away. This worked a treat. Good luck with your cabbages.

Try some fertiliser - they respond well to fertiliser. Are they receiving enough water? Not too much, but enough to keep the soil moist. Are they in full sun, as they do best in full sun? All the best, Bob

Hi,I live in Brisbane and i'm new to growing vegetables. This is the first time that I have grown Red cabbage , well any cabbage really, what I would appreciate knowing is, at what stage or how long does it take for the young cabbage to start forming the head.

What type of soil is suitable for cabage and how many times do you need to water it. And what chemical is used to stop bacteria from damaging it.

Early October 2015. I'm using 2 to 3 levels of shade cloth across all of my crops and adding ice to the water troughs in which my seedlings are struggling this spring. I think this is called "Global Warming". It was 34C in Pretoria today and the forecast is not promising.
