March 9, 2015A.You can set your plants out after danger of frost is past. You will need to harden off your plants.
Here are several links to help you.

June 11, 2015Q.Cabbage
Do cabbage plants regrow? My son got a cabbage plant from school last spring. We planted it and harvested it late summer. This summer it regrew. I don't know if it is forming a new cabbage again or not though. It has got tall flowering shoots out the top. Thanks.

June 12, 2015A.If some of the root end remained in the soil it is possible it can regrow.
I would watch it grow!Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

north dakotaQ.do you need to dust cabbage plants
Do you need to dust cabbage plants? When is best time? I thought you had to dust plants for insects but not really sure!

June 24, 2015A.I grew up with my grandparents and parents dusting the cabbage with fresh powered lime. It will deter those insects and worms that want to dine on your cabbage. Dust in the morning when the plants are dewey. If you need to reapply, wait at least 48 hours.
I personally do not dust my plants, but many gardeners regularly do so.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/cabbage/growing-cabbage.htm

July 13, 2015Q.black leaf cabbage
I have some black leaf cabbages in the garden. They are growing up-ways and have large purple/green leaves on them with no heads. Please could you tell me when they are ready to eat, if possible?
- Answered by

July 14, 2015A.They need cool weather in order to form heads. You can help keep them "cool" by placing mulch around the base to regulate the soil temperature.
