Rotation considerations for China Pacifiko Yr Cabbage Seeds:

Avoid following cabbage family plants.
Good Companions: Bush beans, beet, carrot, celery, cucumber, dill, kale, lettuce, mint, nasturtium, onion family, potato, rosemary, sage, spinach, thyme and tomato.
Bad Companions: Pole beans, strawberry.
Plant fall cabbage 6 to 8 weeks before the first frost.
Growing plants that have been exposed to cool weather become "hardened" and are tolerant of frost.
Cabbage that matures in cool weather is deliciously sweet.

Like most vegetables, cabbage needs at least 6 hours of full sun each day; more is better. It also needs fertile, well-drained, moist soil with plenty of rich organic matter. The soil pH should be between 6.5 and 6.8 for optimum growth and to discourage club root disease.
