3. Make Sure your Cabbage Gets Plenty of Water
As with all types of vegetable plants, cabbage plants require plenty of water. If you truly want the best cabbage plants throughout the season it is important to make sure that they are getting watered regularly.
When you are watering your cabbage plants it is important to make sure that you are watering the plants evenly. If you do not water the plants evenly you will end up with heads that are either cracked or become stunted.
When the plants reach their maturity you will want to cut back on the amount that you water them as too much water can cause the heads to split. It is recommended that you water your plants in the morning before they are hit with the hot sun.
The morning water will help keep them moist throughout the day. You should make watering your plants a part of the daily care, unless you are getting plenty of rain in your area.
