Planting & Growth Tips:
Growing Golden Acre Cabbage is straightforward and rewarding, offering compact heads that are easy to manage and harvest. Follow these tips for successful cultivation:

• Planting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost for spring planting, or sow directly in late summer for a fall harvest. Transplant seedlings into the garden when they are 4-6 weeks old, spacing plants 12-24 inches apart in rows spaced 24-36 inches apart.
• Soil: Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Maintain a pH between 6.0-7.5 for optimal growth.
• Sunlight: Provide full sun exposure for vigorous growth and well-formed heads.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, especially during head formation, but avoid waterlogging. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
• Care: This variety is resistant to splitting and is relatively low-maintenance, making it suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners. Monitor for pests like aphids and cabbage loopers, and use organic pest control methods as needed.
• Harvesting: Harvest heads when they are firm, compact, and reach their mature size of 5-7 inches in diameter. Store in a cool, dry place for extended freshness.
