Watch out for cabbage loopers, cabbageworms, cabbage root maggots, slugs, aphids, and flea beetles. Disease-wise, black leg, black rot, and clubroot and yellows can occur.
Harvest heads when they’re firm and feel solid. Immediately harvest any heads that crack or split. Cut heads from the base of the plant.
