My spray says to wait 7 days after spraying to harvest cabbage.
That's what I'm going to do. I'll let you know if I survive.

Seriously, I gave them a good soak several times. They should be fine.

How do you harvest cabbage? Just take up the whole plant? Or twist
out the cabbage itself? Any recipe ideas? I have 4 cabbages also,
one ready to harvest.



I'm not sure about the harvesting as it is our first year growing
them. I'm planning to cut the whole plant.


I tried to twist, but it didn't twist very well. I ended up twisting
the entire plant out of the ground.

Fried some in butter, sweet paprika, and some seasonings. Any other
recipe ideas?

I can't help you much with cabbage recipes as I only make 3 things with
cabbage. They a cabbage rolls, sauerkraut, and coleslaw.

Here's how I do the cabbage rolls.

stuffing: cooked long grain rice, browned ground beef, salt & pepper to
taste, chopped onion, sometimes I add chopped herbs like basil

wraps: drop cabbage head into boiling water until leaves are almost
translucent, remove leaves one at a time; repeat if necessary

to assemble: place about 3 tbsp of stuffing into centre of leaf, tuck
ends over then roll and place in casserole dish, continue this way until
you've used up the stuffing and leaves, pour tomato sauce (I use a
homemade roasted tomato sauce) over the rolls and bake in oven

These freeze well!
