Those cabbages are absolutely gorgeous and so clean! Where could you buy any cabbage so healthy. Best grow bag/container commercial out there, lol!
Love to hear it. Thank you so much for your comment😊
Hey your videos are the best I've seen! Never Stop! Also planning on growing some cauliflower soon, do you think if I followed these steps for cabbage it'd still work out. Every other video I find on cauliflower just drags on and on giving me no information. All my other vegetables have been grown based off your guides :) please help lol, even if I have to tweak the process a little.
Thank you very much for the comment. The process for cauliflower from sowing to planting is pretty much same as cabbage. Once planted, feed with a balanced fertilizer (such as 5-5-5) instead of nitrogen rich fertilizer. Also you might need to provide some support for the plants as they grow. I hope this helps and best of luck to you.
Thank you. 💕
Great video. Thank you
Glad you liked it! Thank you so much for your comment!
I love your videos. I a new to gardening and always wanted to learn how to grow a garden using containers. I learn a lot from you. Can you use plant lights during the germination stage if you don't have the space outside to get natural sun?
You can definitely use lights if cannot get it naturally. That is the best practice to have healthy seedlings and to avoid leggy ones. I use containers a lot and you can grow almost any vegatables in containers. I am delighted that you love my videos and found them helpful. Best of luck to you and thank you so much!😊
New and I like the water bottle technique very good idea
Yes the water bottle works great for seed trays. Welcome to the channel and thank you so much for the comment!
Love the water bottle with holes in the cap👏🏾💁🏽♀️
It is perfect for watering the seedlings. Thank you very much for your comment!
@@TowardGarden I saw that you where thinning seeds to one cell? What do you do with that extra seed. Potential new gardener asking 😊
I usually have enough seedlings so just toss them in my compost bin. Happy gardening.
Amazing thank you
Thank you so much for your comment!

Sounds wonderful! Please keep posted. Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!
I love your videos. I am a new gardener and I wanted to succeed in gardening. I have learned a lot from you, thank you so much from Bangladesh.❤❤❤
So glad to hear it. Thank you so much for your comment!😊💚
Nice! Maybe this summer i will achieve cabbage self-sufficiency!in winter could one just move them into basement for storage, bags and all?
Cabbage grows best in cold weather. So try not to grow them in summer as they will bolt. But if you grow them in fall you may overwinter the stem left in the soil and harvest another crop in early spring. Thank you very much for visiting!😊
Very interesting!
Thank you!
Oh my goodness👈🏾😁your cabbage harvest was amazing. That red cabbage (my favorite) was just stunning. Now I want to grow cabbage. Truly enjoyed this video. I have been packing most of the day - getting ready for my move back to So. California. Can’t wait to start my California garden. You know I will be bugging you with questions and I apologize in advance 😂 Be Blessed and Thanks for another great video. Ms J
That is wonderful. I 'd be glad to be of any help, so feel free to reach out anytime. God bless you too and stay safe🙏🤗
@@TowardGarden Hello again and Happy Saturday Do you have a video on planting sweet potatoes "slips"?? If so please what's the link?? I just happen to have a sweet potato in my fridge. I have been watching lots of gardening videos on "how to grow sweet potatoes from Slips" ..heck it looks easy enough. I will be growing my sweet potatoes on grow bags. I'm guessing a 7-10 gallon grow bag would work correct? Thanks for your assistance. Be Blessed and have a great weekend.
Hello. I have grown sweet potatoes but unfortunately don't have a video on that. I will try to work on that. Keep me posted on how yours are coming along. Thank you and stay safe.
@@TowardGarden Ok I will keep you posted. Thanks for the reply back🖐🏾😁
Great
Thank you so much!
Beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!!
Looks delicious..
Thank you 😋
My favorite food in summer is cabbage. I don't know how to develop it. Thank you for sharing. I will do it. I hope it will be successful. Have a good day❤
Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!😊
Thank you
My pleasure. Thank you so much for watching!
I never thought I’d growing them like that
Sure, there can be many ways to garden and I am learning new things every day too. Thank you for visiting!
@@TowardGarden completely agree :)
The music makes you hungry lol
Nice video comrade 😅
😄 never thought about that. Thank you very much for your comment!
You are great at this! Love this video also! was there any difference in the bag size that affected the growth at all? also what is non toxic B.T?
Not a big difference between bags but I noticed the ones in plastic pot did a bit better. And B.T. or (Bacillus Thuringiensis) is a naturally occurring bacteria and one of the most common pest control to kill leaf eating caterpillars like cabbage worms, bagworms, leafrollers, tent caterpillars, gypsy moth larvae,.... It can be applied as a liquid or powder and you can find several varieties certified as organic. You may also use garden netting to control caterpillars if you don't wish to use any pesticides. I hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment!
In that size container I grow 3 baby cabbage at the same time no problem 👌 thank you for the good content
Wow. Good to know. Thank you for visiting.
wow❤
Thank you so much!😊
Super very nice 👌👌👌👌👌 xlend
Thank you very much for the comment!😊
My cabbage would be full of holes . That is the cleanest cabbage I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing.
The holes are usually done by caterpillars. You can either use B.T. (a natural bacteria) solution or spray neem oil mix. If you don't want to use any sprays, garden netting is a great option too. I hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment.
First off, I love your channel, thank you for the videos. Now for a question, what is non toxic BP? Thanks.

Hello! Thank you for sharing this informative video! What kind of cabbage seeds do you use to grow the blue blue cabbage? They're so beautiful!
Thank you very much for your comment! These are actually red variety called "Red Express". They turn blueish when soil is a bit non-acidic. They are indeed beautiful with an amazing flavor. Delighted that you liked this video. Cheers! 😊
@@TowardGarden where do you buy them?
@@mayiakashmurr3000 This "Red Express" cabbage variety is from Cornucopia Seeds. I bought them from my local garden center but you might find them online( www.cornucopiaseeds.com/seeds-veg.htm ). Thank you for getting in touch.
@@TowardGarden thank you
I planted several packages of old seeds and two my surprise they all germinated so now I have about 300 baby cabbage plants. I’m gonna grow some of them out in my grow room sunporch as baby greens and just eat them like salad. The rest I want to put in bags and grow to maturity. I sure I’m glad I found your video.
Sounds wonderful! Happy growing and thank you so much for your comment!😊
Those look yummy! I'll have to look for those red express seeds!
They sure do. Easy and fun to grow as well.
Thank you very much for the comment!
New subscriber here! Awesome videos! I'm gonna binge watch them all day lol. Any weekly feeding of manure or fertilizer as a side dressing? And please do onions next :)
Thank you so much! For leafy crops such as cabbages, I usually feed diluted fish fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. And where I live has a short cold season, so onions are a bit tough, but I will try. Greatly appreciate your support!
@@TowardGarden Very good information, thank you. Yes onions are hard to grow but looking at your videos you can grow anything. Mind telling me what zone you're in?
I am in 9b. Thank you for your comment!
@@TowardGarden You're welcome!

Thank you so much for your comment!!
Thank you. follow
Thank you so much!😊
These look so cute, like babies growing in pots!! I had trouble last year growing kale and kalettes, they got infested with cabbage white caterpillars which was unpleasant. I'm going to try again with a net, do you cover brassicas with nets? How do you deal with pests that target them?
Either netting or I use neem oil mix to prevent. If you see the caterpillars, use B.T. natural bacteria solution. In any cases the best is to monitor and control them at early stages. Sometime I get fooled by how great the leaves look, but when I check underneath, I see the eggs. So make sure to check both sides of the leaves. I might be wrong, but I have many birds in my backyard and I think they enjoy the caterpillar diet too🤷♂️. I hope this helps. Thanks again for visiting and happy gardening.😊
What zone are you in? So beautiful! I am inspired. Thank you!
I am in 9b. Thank you very much for the feedback!
@@TowardGarden I am 9a. Great to know, I figured your climate was much cooler. How long does your cabbage stay good? *sorry another question* thx!
@@masonhamlin3921 Well 9a should be cooler than 9b, so you certainly have a nice cool weather to grow these. If you mean after harvesting, about 2-3 weeks. Just make sure to harvest them before rainfalls (too much water can split and damage the cabbage heads.) Good Luck!
@@TowardGarden Thank you! I just planted seeds.
Hi, good video as always👍
I’m wondering.. Will the plant regrow after harvesting?
If the weather is cool enough, leaves will regrow from stem left in soil. But it is possible that they may not mature to full size head, but you sure can use the tender leaves.
Thank you very much for the comment and Happy Gardening!
If you cut the cabbage head off above a few layers of leaves small headswill grow. They May be baseball size but very tender.
nice
Thank you very much!
These videos are so helpful. Just wondering what you do with the soil after harvesting? Can you get the roots out and use of for something else?
So glad you found my videos helpful. Yes, you can reuse the old potting soil by removing old roots from the soil and add fresh compost (composted manure, garden compost,...) and/or general purpose organic fertilizer for a new potting soil. A ratio of 1/3 to 1/2 fresh compost to the mix will work. I will try to post a video on reusing old potting soil in future. Thank you very much for your comment!
Wow💕🙏🏻
Thank you so much for your comment!
Great demo. I'm not sure if I can grow them on our hot climate in the islands.
Yes, you might not get to the full head size if it is too hot before plants go to bolting. Hope you will find a heat-tolerant variety for your area. I haven't tried them but 'Green Boy' or 'Charmant' are two heat-tolerant varieties you may want to try. Thank you so much for your comment!
Nice video, thanks for sharing it. I’m a novice gardener. What do you do with the cabbage outer leaves-just compost them?
That is exactly right, they go to my compost bin. Thank you very much for your comment!
When you cabbage if you cut it and leave the stem will it continue producing?
Leaves will regrow from stem left in soil. But it is possible that they may not mature to full size head, specially if weather gets warmer.
Thank you very much for visiting!
@@TowardGarden thats when i take mine inside with the a/c in the window. lol
Really enjoying watching all your videos learning a lot. Could I do broccoli the same way as cabbage ?
Love to hear it. The process is about same for broccoli. And broccoli video coming soon.😀Thank you so much for your comment!
Loved your video! What do you do with the roots and used dirt? Tyia!
Great question! The roots go to our compost bin, and once I cleaned the soil from all roots, I use the old soil as "peat moss+perlite" mix that I use in my videos, to make my new potting soil. So I add fresh compost (and sometimes fertilizer) to it to make a new soil. I have done this for years and it always works. So glad you loved my video and thank you very much for visiting!😊
@@TowardGarden that's super helpful info thank you! Im about to start growing in bags this year!
Glad to be of any help and best of luck to you. Cheers!
That is so wonderful. I am wondering what type or name of the soil you are using? And what is the size of those containers? Thank you very much.
I usually make my soil. This mixture is equal parts of composted chicken manure, peat moss and perlite plus 1/4 cup of garden lime. You can find all of these items at your local garden centers. If you want to use potting soil, my choice is Kellogg organic Patio Plus. And the containers are 10 in wide x 10 in deep, 7 gallon and 5 gallon grow bags (check video @2:59 min). I hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!
Hi I just watch quite a few of your awesome vids 👌 I just want to ask, is there a reason you start all of them off in trays and not sow directly? Would like to know if there is. Thanks! 😊
Hi. I found many benefits to starting seeds in trays: The growing media is more easier to control and manage. The temperature requirements, soil condition, light are few of them. I prefer this for vegetables that benefit from starting ahead and not for all my crops. I just share what works for me best but agree that you can sow directly many of the plants and get the same results. I hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!
2:14 the saddest part.
😆 saddest part for a happy ending. Thanks!
I love your videos. You make it look so easy it seems like a magic trick. I have a hard time growing seeds past the sprout stage, any tips?
Glad you love my videos.
Depending on the condition you are sowing seeds, you need to adjust light, heat, and mainly watering. I have tried (and failed) many times to find the best way that works for me. If your seedlings die after germination, probably it is due to “damping-off,” a fungal disease. Try to sprinkle some baking soda around the seedlings (not too much) and do not over water them. I hope this helps.
Thank you again for visiting and Good Luck!
@@TowardGarden Thanks! That might be it, to much moisture.
@@TowardGarden I was growing then under my carport which I think was too dark but the patio was too bright and hot. I ended up putting the seedling flats amongst my blueberry bushes so they get dappled light and are growing much better.
Great choice. Glad to hear your seedlings are doing fine. Keep up the good work!👍
Great video start to finish.. what you doing for pest control because they look so prestine🙌🏿🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it. For pest control, I check my plants regularly and spray neem oil mix or B.T. as I see the first signs of damage. If you do not want to use any sprays, garden netting is a great option to protect cabbages. Birds around our garden seems to enjoy the caterpillars and are big help to get rid of them. hope this helps and thank you very much for your comment😊.
This is going to help me so much. I started container gardening 2 years ago and I have had a lot of great results as well as some bad. What do you use to place the pots on I use a mix of grow bags and the blue containers with handles. My grass is dying because of my pots.
I try to avoid having pots sitting on the grass too. One of the best options is to use metal shelving units. You can have them on short legs, about 1 ft to elevate shelves from ground so grass don't get damaged. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!
I use bricks. All you need is 2, set one on each side to keep the container stable. A very inexpensive way to keep the container off the ground for good draining 🙂
@thisistheway5770 that is a great option too. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful cabbage loved video. How did you keep cabbage worms and other pest away. Great job 👏
For caterpillars, I use B.T. (a natural bacteria) solution. I get the best result when I monitor and control them at early stages. Sometime I get fooled by how great the leaves look, but when I check underneath, I see the eggs. For other pests I usually spray neem oil mix. Also, we have many visiting birds in our backyard and I think they enjoy the caterpillar diet too, but I am not sure. I hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment😊
Thank you for replying back bought BT for garden this year. Hope and pray it works this year loved your celery video too will it too!!! Keep up the good work!
Wishing you a fruitfull harvest . Thank you so much and happy gardening.😊
Love the video so far, planning to grow my own veggies for my family but we live in a small apartment with other tenants but we do have a small patio that's meshed off. Can I grow cabbages in the shade and still get a chance to harvest?
Cabbages actually like being in part shade specially in warmer weather and will grow well. Thank you so much for your comment and happy gardening!
@@TowardGarden thank you so much for the advice!
Thanks very much for sharing. I have a couple of questions please:
The post size 10” what depth are they?
What do you do with the potting mix at the end of growing.
Hi. The pots are 12" deep, but any pot with at least 8" depth will work too. You can reuse the potting mix after harvest. Check my video here on how I do that th-cam.com/video/nlmarlrwfPI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ylBCwbbhd8Y2OjCe . Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!
She's hard working woman God Bless 🙏 you! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
God bless you as well!🙏
I’m inspired by your videos please tell me where you got your containers and watering can. Thank you
Glad you like the videos. You can visit my amazon store for the links to grow bags and gardening tools I use: www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-3dd9a3b6 . Thank you so much for visiting and your support!
Thank you.
Will the stems grow another cabbage head if left in the soil after harvest the cabbage?
If the weather is cool enough, it will regrow from stem left in the soil. It is possible that they may not mature to a full size head, but you will still have some tender leaves to harvest.
Thank you very much for visiting!
@@TowardGarden thank you 🙏🏾
I have a slew of 10 gallon buckets and every year I plant something in them trying to find something that will successfully grow in them. Cabbage next year!!! Carrots this year were ok but not enough space per bucket to be plentiful.
I’m addicted to your videos! What zone in California are you?
And I am delighted to see your comment. I am in 9b. Cheers😊
what kind of composted manure did you use? your soil looks so nice, what exactly did you use to make it? peat or coir?
do you have the white butterfly in your area? i have white butterfly, cats with cat poo, leaf miners, and tons of aphids in my area :( seems each year i get a new pain to have to deal with. this year its crows digging up my transplant starts!
I used chicken composted manure. And I usually use both peat moss and coir. If you that much of a bug problem, I suggest to use garden netting on your plants, it will also keep cats away. Thanks.
Fantastic. What variety is your purple cabbage? Also, do you use grow lights? What's your zone. Sorry for so many questions!
The purple cabbage is called "Red Express". I don't use grow lights. I keep seedlings in filtered sunlight, such as under beach umbrella or 70% shade cloth. And I am in SoCal zone 9b. Hope this answers your questions and thank you for keeping in touch!😊
I have learned so much from your videos thank you so much for expounding your knowledge on this skill you are truly a blessing, God Bless You.
I have a question when watering from the start of seedlings as well as watering in grow bags do you water your plants until the water comes out of the bottom of the bag?
So glad found my videos helpful! For the seedlings, you just need to water so that the soil is moist, if it doesn't run off, that's ok too. or better if bottom water them- or you soak them in a tray of water. I will try to post a video on how to water seedlings soon. But for the grow bags, yes, water them deep so it come off from the bottom of the bag. Hope this helps and thank you so much for your comment!😊
@@TowardGarden thank you so much and i appreciate your response I look forward to the video, you’re awesome!
@@harmonyholisticshomestead4526 Much appreciated!💚
@@harmonyholisticshomestead4526 You are very welcome and God bless you too!
