• Check your local frost forecast to determine the best planting time.

➡️Plant the Seeds:

• Fill seed starters with potting soil.
• Create a ½-inch (1.3-cm) hole in the center of each cell.
• Drop two or three cabbage seeds into each hole and cover with soil.
• Keep the soil moist as the seeds germinate and grow.

➡️Maintain Temperature:

• Cabbage seeds germinate best when the temperature is between 65°F and 75°F.
• After sprouting, move them to a sunny location, such as a south-facing window.

➡️Wait for Leaves to Form:

• Keep the seedlings indoors until they reach a height of three to four inches with at least four or five leaves each.
