I've been growing cabbages in a 4x4 grow tent with a Spider Farmer light and vent fan to outdoors in our basement here in Michigan. Temps are about 62-75 and no bolting, no insect pressure! Plus I can grow all year around. It might be a little overkill for someone just starting out, but I got started with my maritomatoes which I no longer grow so it's all in place from those days. WINK! If anyone wants more details just ask.
@@JerrasGarden My setup was not cheap, but it gets results without a lot of attention. Less stress means less bolting for things like Cilantro and Bok Choy. So exciting to see heads forming on my cabbages with no holes in any of the leaves!
Hi. This is my first time growing Napa cabbage. After harvesting, do I cut off the outer leaves and eat only the tightly compacted middle piece that formed and grew up or are all the leaves edible? I admit my outer leaves are not looking good. Some pests got to them.
Thanks for being so thorough and comprehensive.
Hi Jerrabel we love watching and learning about growing plants on your videos.
Thanks so much

Interesting! I have not ventured into growing indoors yet.

I love growing Napa cabbage, but the worms love to eat them even more 😅 thanks for the video, very informative.
Thanks for watching!
Try mixing some epsom salt with water and feed your plants every two weeks or so will reduce aphids by 95% at least.
Ma'am I need some seeds of Chinese cabbage from you...
So when you say inside you mean your screen porch area? I live in Kissimmee would they be ok growing in my screen porch?

All the leaves are edible but yea, if they are heavily munched on by insects I take them off and do not eat.
Any advice on getting them to close?
Not sure what you mean by "getting them to close".
@@JerrasGardenThe leaves of napa cabbages bought in the market are usually closed, not open.
I'm not going to waste my time. I can buy all the cabbage that I want. I only watched because The Auntie is so hot!
