{"title":"Cabbage and kale seeds","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrowing Cabbage\u003cbr\u003eHere we go through some important things to keep in mind before growing cabbage, so you can soon enjoy this wonderful plant – both delicious and incredibly healthy!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoice of Soil\u003cbr\u003eFor growing cabbage, it’s best to use well-fertilized soil with a pH above 6. This is where cabbage thrives the most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatering\u003cbr\u003eCabbage requires plenty of regular watering to prevent it from drying out. Mulching with materials like hay or grass clippings can help keep the soil moist and reduce how often you need to water – and it also keeps weeds down!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStarting Cabbage Indoors\u003cbr\u003eBy starting your cabbage indoors, you can achieve better results:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow the seeds in a seed tray, moisten the soil, and cover with plastic film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the tray in a bright location without direct sunlight; a heat mat can improve germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the first leaves appear, remove the cover and place the plants somewhere cool and bright (around 15°C \/ 59°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the true leaves have developed, give a weak fertilizer and begin hardening off the plants gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the plants are strong and the risk of frost has passed, transplant them into the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon Characteristics of Cabbage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCabbage Heads\u003cbr\u003eMost cabbage varieties form heads or buds. White cabbage, red cabbage, and savoy cabbage form firm, compact heads, while broccoli and cauliflower develop flower buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutrient-Rich Cabbage\u003cbr\u003eCabbage is highly nutritious and an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. All cabbage types contain high amounts of calcium, vitamin C, iron, fiber, and beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold Tolerance\u003cbr\u003eMany cabbages tolerate cold very well and can even improve in flavor after light frost. This makes them ideal crops for autumn and winter gardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCross-Pollination\u003cbr\u003eCabbage can cross-pollinate easily, which may lead to unwanted hybrids if different varieties grow too close together. To maintain varietal purity, plants should be isolated or pollinators managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood for the Garden\u003cbr\u003eCabbage makes an excellent green manure crop. Its deep root system improves soil structure and adds nutrients, benefiting any crops grown afterward.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fro-till-brysselkal-roodnerf","title":"Brussels Sprouts - Roodnerf","description":"Brussels Sprouts Roodnerf is one of the oldest preserved heirloom varieties within Brussels sprouts.

Kale contains lots of flavonoids that have anti-inflammatory effects. Flavonoids help protect the body's cells and have also been shown to reduce the risk of heart and vascular diseases. In addition to being rich in iron, vitamin C, and vitamin A, kale is also an excellent source of ALA, which is converted to the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA when we eat it.
