    You cannot regrow cabbage from its leaf, though you can allow it to go to seed and plant those. Note if you do this, however, you may be sacrificing the cabbage head, as bolting will make it bitter.

    It may be that it is too warm or that you just need to give them some more time. There are a few pests that can cause this too. This article has more information on them:http://www.extension.umn.edu/gardeninfo/diagnostics/vegetable/cabbage/headnone.html

    If you suspect that it may be heat, mulching well around the base of the plant can help.

    Thinning is something that you do when you are growing from seed and the seedlings are growing too close to each other. You can either pinch out the weaker seedlings or snip them off with scissors.

    If you planted seedlings or young plants and spaced them properly, you do not need to do any thinning.

    Keep them cool. They will naturally form a head, unless they bolt from too much heat.
