Cabbage seeds were soaked for a day on the 8th of April this year. They were wrapped in wet kitchen tissue for a couple of days. Once the roots started to appear they were placed one each in little pots. Four seedlings were of the same size coming to the fourth leaves, very heathy. The other three are somewhat dwarfed, therefore I don't expect much from them... So I am concentrating on the four young cabbage seedlings now.
Young cabbage seedling in 4 in pot, coming to the fourth leaves
This is the second attempt. The first in Putrajaya home, saw the whole stages through ending with four lovely cabbage heads (normal term to describe the round cabbage). Now I am trying to find the best site around the house: cool, no direct sunlight.
Has anyone tried cabbage to add fun to home vegetable gardening in Malaysia?

tanah merah garden
yes, I did! Cabbage in a pot, just like you did in Putrajaya previously (inspired!). Dan terus berjangkit kat jiran-jiran...
ReplyDeleteIs amazing to read the effort you have to go to to grow cabbage as they are easy for us but melons etc now there is a challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhere we are, cabbage is one of the easiest to grow. What I miss growing here are the orchids that grow effortlessly in the Philippines! Good luck on the cabbage Bangchik and Kakdah! :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to grow cabbage...I've seen them growing by the acre in the mountains of western Virginian! Collards were the green vegetable that grew exceptionally well in the red clay soil of south central Virginia. I look forward to seeing your cabbage heads!

What's not meant to be grown here, is a challenge. So far cabbage is growable.

I thought orchids can be grown indoor there...., by the window sills.

It must be a sight to see acres of cabbages there..... as interesting as the sight of banana grown by the acre here.
Oh... seedlings need to soak for 1 day ah. I see. Will try again using your technique :)

ReplyDeleteIt's not a fool proof prescription on soaking seeds for a day. At least that work for me.... We can vary, and look for the best.
great effort..

ReplyDeleteThanks.., hope it works.
First time seeing 'anak kobis'
ReplyDeleteMy mom grew cabbages in pots in our hometown in Melaka. I haven't try it yet. Good luck there and hope they will grow as successfully as in Putrajaya.

You should try it, cabbage isn't very "manja", quite tough plant in fact.
