Hello, What are the large seedlings that were covering over the cabbage seedlings? Thanks
@@Hygeiainthedesert Those were a melon, but it didn't work out well. I eventually pulled them out.

Sometimes watching your videos I feel like a little kid on a field trip. It's always so fascinating watching you go through your process for so many things you choose to grow. As always, thanks for sharing the things you have learned. Jesus bless.
Sandy you have a way with words! Thank you for your insightful comments.
You're so methodical. I just love watching you work. You are one of the finest teachers here on UA-cam or anywhere, really. I hope you have an awesome fall and winter growing season. The rabbit soup was a tad bit gross! LOL! God bless!
Elliemae, I am a "step-by-step" person. I like doing things the simplest way. Yes, any manure fertilizer is a little yucky, but it is good fertilizer for the plants. Thanks for watching my videos.

Beautiful cabbage ! Enjoyed the video from seed to the planting. I like the sponge idea . Sometimes I get a little heavy handed in the watering .
Guess what , it’s raining over here in Stevenson ! Hope y’all are getting some rain as well.

Thank you. I do pretty good for being 80 years old.
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener You are 80 years old??!! I never knew that. Yes, you do fantastically! it’s probably also because you grow your own food. My grandfather lived next door and lived to 101. He gardened, drove his car, and even still cooked for himself until 97. And all that without my sweet grandmother who passed 20 years prior.
I’m so glad you make videos.

Nice OAG :-) They are some healthy looking cabbages, that mix of t13 and rabbit fertilizer is very productive. Great video bro
Thank you. Now to keep them growing as the weather gets colder. I like the triple 13 because it gives the plants a jump start and the rabbit manure gives long fertilizing power for the plant. Thanks for watching my videos.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm doing a chart, to help me know when to start seeds for different crop. This video, let's me know if I can start cabbage in August. Then I can possibly do the same with, collards and kale. I really appreciate your videos. I'm going back to watch the onion videos. I plan, on starting everything from seeds that I can. I've even decided to order some seeds.. When it's safe to do so. Stay healthy and safe, to you and yours.
Yes, all the crops such as cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts, can be started in late summer. Kale, turnip greens, mustard greens, radishes can be direct seeded in early autumn.

Another great video! I planted 3 cabbage for the first time in the spring......the cabbage worms made them ugly, but they tasted good.
Hello Penny, to control the cabbage worm, spray with a product called: Bacillus thuringiensis. If you go to a garden store or the big box stores and ask for Bt, they will probably know what you are talking about. Mix it with water and spray your cabbage, broccoli, collards and any crop attacked by worms. Bt is approved for organic gardening use and does not harm humans. Thanks for watching my videos.

@@OldAlabamaGardener I am in South Central Texas, Zone 9
@@insidekateskitchen So you still have plenty of time to grow cabbage . If you started seeds now, you would probably be okay to set them out by the middle to last of December. That would give you a nice spring crop. A light frost doesn't hurt cabbage.

Hello Vanessa, and yes, I have regrown cabbage before. It usually doesn't get very big but it is good. Thanks for watching.

Your a joy to watch with the vegetables.
Wondering why you have no videos explaining how to solve all pest problems.
Most of my pest solving is included in the videos on a specific vegetable. Thanks for watching my videos.
OAG
Thank you for your videos absolutely enjoy every one of them! How do you keep the mouth from laying eggs on them and getting them full of worms? Thank you for all your videos and keep them coming!
The only way you could prevent the moth from getting to the cabbage or broccoli to lay eggs is to cover the plants with a netting, the netting would have to be small enough mesh so the moth couldn't get through it and no plant leaves could be touching the netting. But if the moth does get to the plants and lays the eggs, spray with Bacillus thuringiensis (common name is: Bt). Thank you for watching my videos. If you haven't yet, please subscribe.

I love your garden videos, i have been gardening some 60 years myself,but find much inspiration form folks like yourself , we are never too old to learn new procedures. I just live cross county from you in Gurley. I have a question about you planting those small seedlings in Gallon pots, do you think that gives you an advantage over direct transplanting of plants from the trays into the garden . I have always had good success doing it that way. By the way I am planting some copenhagen with my all season this year,as you have inspired me to expand on my varieties. I have noticed you plant many seed types that I do and I also save seeds as you do. Thanks for the time you put into your videos,they are very much appreciated by the avid gardener.
Tommy
I believe using the pots as I do gives me a jump start on growing my plants. I will have them up pretty good by the time danger of frost is past. And if I am busy with getting the ground ready, the plants can stay in the pots for a long time.
@@OldAlabamaGardener Thanks
Hi C! My husband harvested some red cabbage last year and just cut if off. This year... we received a new cabbage from the roots!
Hello S. Yes, cabbage will regrow. Have you moved yet?

Komatsuna is cooked as a stir fry, lightly in a skillet. Thanks for watching my videos.
OAG
WOW ! I WISH I COULD MOVE THAT FAST ! YOUR CABBAGE STARTS LOOK NICE AND BIG. AFTER YOU POT THEM UP WHERE DO YOU PUT THEM? DO HAVE AN AUTOMATIC WATERING SYSTEM FOR THEM? I STARTED MY CABBAGE IN THE HOUSE IN THE SPRING AND POT THEM UP AND SET THEM OUTSIDE IN A SHADY AREA.UNTIL PLANTING TIME BUT THEY NEVER WERE AS BIG AS YOUR PLANTS. THIS FALL I PURCHASED SOME PLANTS PUT THEM UNDER NETTING AND THEY ARE DOING PRETTY GOOD. I THINK I NEED TO PUT MORE 13X13X13 ON THEM.I AM IN KY AND IT IS COOLING OFF AND WE ARE GETTING MUCH NEEDED RAIN. THANKS FOR SHARING.
Hello Carol. After I pot the cabbage plants, I set them on the back patio concrete, in full sun. No, I don't have an automatic watering system. All plants, not just the cabbage plants, must have fertilizer to do well. Thank you for watching my videos.
OAG
Me. Charles, hi!
Another inspiring video! Tks Can you tell me how you combat the cabbage worm? They find every brassica I plant! Candy K in AR
Candy: That is a good question. Last year I believe we had a new worm on the cabbage and other brassicas. (I think it came from China). This new worm is more difficult to control than was the old green cabbage worm. I used to hate the old green cabbage worm but now I wish it was back instead of the new worm, at least I could control the old worm. Some people say to spray with Bacillus thuringiensis (bT), but I haven't had much success with it controlling the new worms. There is another spray, safe for humans, called Pyola. Pyola is approved for use on organic vegetables. You can buy it (when they have it) at gardens alive.com
Pyola is not a residual spray, you have to actually spray the worm with it to kill it. After it dries it is not longer effective. I an happy to answer your questions.
Nice cabbage plants. When will you be harvesting your cabbage? I need to adjust this timeline for my zone 5b (Michigan) garden.
A lot depends on the weather, if it gets cold and stays cold, then the plants will grow more slowly. If it stays about normal, I should be able to harvest some small heads in about a month. Thanks for watching my videos.
OAG
Interested, when did time we must started grow ?
There's a cabbage you should try called cheer's
I will check it out. Thanks. Are you growing cabbage?
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener sure is
Hey Mr. Charles great tips on growing cabbage. I always grow from seed. How far apart do you space each plant?
I spaced these about 2 feet apart. If you are growing the smaller head cabbage, you could space 18 inches apart. It doesn't hurt for the leaves to be touching each other.
C.
What can you substitute the rabbit manure with, I have no idea where to get that.

I have Learned a lot watching your Videos And I thank you for your Information!! But I have a question What plants can I use triple thirteen on I’m very interested in trying triple thirteen but need to know what plants I can use them on just recently planted some collards Turnips Cabbage rutabaga mustard greens and Broccoli are the plants safe with triple 13 and what’s the difference between triple 10 and triple 13 Thanks in advance
I use triple 13 on everything except sweet potatoes. Some plants need less than other plants. The difference between triple 10 and triple 13 is only the strength. Triple 13 is stronger than triple 10. Thank you for watching my videos. If you haven't yet, please subscribe.
OAG
Hello, have you ever grown ole timey blue collard greens before? Please tell me about yhem
Do you fertilize the seedlings before transferring over to the 1 gallon pots? What do you use for seed starter mix ? Do you use grow lights or a cold frame from germination to transplant stage ?
I start fertilizing the seedlings when they get their first true leaves. Then when I am ready to pot them up I put some fertilizer in the one gallon pot. For my seed starting mix I use my own potting mix that I make up. I use grow lights, inside the house. Watch me make my potting mix at: ua-cam.com/video/cexZfl0oCFw/v-deo.html

Thank you for enjoying my videos. I have no experience with that plant Moringa.
OAG
I know this is an old comment…but I am wondering if you would have left them in the seed trays a little longer if the other plants weren’t hanging over the cabbage…and then just plant straight into the ground?
What does the 3 P's stand for. 13-13-13 in your fertializer?
The fertilizer I use a lot is a balanced fertilizer with the three macro nutrients of 13% Nitrogen, 23% Phosphorus and 13% Potassium. Triple 13 is not a brand name, it is just the three major ingredients of this fertilizer.
OAG
Can you do a Video about when it's good to use either Compost,Manure or Soil?
I will put it on my list of videos to make.
OAG
We have some seeded now. Should be potting up pretty soon. Do you raise rabbits for meat? If so do you have videos of your rabbits?

I am located with in one mile of the TN line, about in the center of the state on an East/West direction. About where are you located?
OAG
I am located about 40 miles south of Nashville so am I correct in assuming that we should have about the same soil and growing conditions?
@@imnotadorkable If you are 40 miles south of Nashville, then you are about 40 to 50 miles north of me. I am right at the TN line. So, yes, I think our growing conditions are about the same.
OAG
What fertilizer should i use to make my cabbages head up?Thanks
As you saw in my video, I use triple 13 to help the plant grow. Cabbage will head up naturally if it is a healthy plant.
OAG
So you overwintered this cabbage under cover and harvested in the spring?..if it worked in your zone 7 I would imagine it would work in my zone 6 but I'd have to start everything several weeks earlier I guess..July rather than August.
Yes, as we are almost in the same growing zones, just adjust the start dates and you should be okay. Thank you for watching my videos.
OAG
Dearest sir, I am the person who lost my home & garden of 13 years. I can only grow in pots now, where I am, but I’ve had a lot of success and learned a lot.
Can you tell me if you are planting in fall because your zone stays warmer or will these winter over? I’m in zone 7.
Thanks. God bless you.
PS. The red cabbage stub in my refrigerator was sprouting funny growth so I put it in my garden in September and it’s growing flowers. I’m assuming these are seeds? Once the flowers are done, if I see seeds, can I use them for growing? Thanks.
Yes, cabbage will over winter in zone 7, if it doesn't get too cold. Yes, the red cabbage is growing flowers that will produce seeds, then the seeds, when they get dry can be planted to grow more cabbage plants.
OAG
OldAlabamaGardener Thats awesome!! I’ll keep watching them for seeds. You’re the best!!
I get confused about wintering over of things especially now that I have to plant in pots and will probably have to move to another place again. So I can’t simply leave these seeds in the ground and just see what they do.
But I won’t trouble you anymore. It should be easy enough to find either a video from you or someone on growing red cabbage from seeds (the seeds that I got from a store bought cabbage that sprouted in my refrigerator & I planted it in the ground and got seeds from it. Haha). Too funny. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. God bless you.

Hello Charles,
Have you ever grown cauliflower? I did not find cauliflower in the title to any of your videos. Cauliflower has become a very popular and healthy substitute for potatoes and I would like to grow some in zone 7b. Do you know when the seeds should be planted and is it too late this year to grow it from seeds? Thanks, and I love your step by step videos!
Hello CG. I have grown cauliflower, but years ago. It will grow pretty much like cabbage or broccoli. No, it isn't too late to start seeds, now will be okay if you have a means to provide light and warmth. You and I are in the same growing zone, so what I do should work for you. About where are you located? I like step-by-step instruction also, must be why I do it.

@@cappyglover8868 Thank you. I started out wanting to preserve my years of gardening experience (realizing that I am getting old) for my grand children. At first I made videos and stored them in my computer and in an external hard drive. That was all before I discovered UA-cam. When I started uploading to UA-cam, I was surprised that so many wanted to learn about gardening and canning. So, kept on making and uploading, and I will continue as long as my health stays good. I am ready for some spring activities, but it is just not yet. I have some tomato seeds that are just beginning to poke through the potting mix. Need to start some pepper seeds next.

I'm a new subscriber here so I am curious to know how far south in Alabama are you located. I'm in Jackson, Mississippi so I am wondering if I need to adjust any of the dates to fit my location. I'm in Zone 8(b).
Also, did you grow the seeds for those 64 days to the transplant stage in a green house or outdoors? What kind of results have you had planting the seeds directly into the garden soil?
Rabbit manure is said to be approximately a 2-1-1 fertilizer. That added to the 13-13-13 only gives you 15-14-14, so why bother adding an unmeasured quantity of a low value fertilizer at all? If you think the plants needed a higher percentage of fertilizer, why not just put in a little more Triple 13 and be done with it in one step. Personally, I grow organic and don't use commercial fertilizers but using manures, worm castings, and compost does make it harder to know if you have gotten the right amount of fertilizer to the plants.
I am very impressed with your videos and gardening skills. Being only 67 years young, I hope to be as good a gardener as you when I grow up. Seriously, I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos. I'll watch them all.
Hello and welcome to my videos. First thank you for subscribing. I will check your channel out. Now your questions. 1) YOUR QUESTION: "I am curious to know how far south in Alabama are you located?"

MY ANSWER: Outdoors, I don't have a greenhouse. 3) YOUR QUESTION: "What kind of results have you had planting the seeds directly into the garden soil?" MY ANSWER: It depends on which seed, but if you are asking specifically about cabbage, I do not plant directly in the soil. 4) YOUR QUESTION: "Rabbit manure is said to be approximately a 2-1-1 fertilizer. That added to the 13-13-13 only gives you 15-14-14, so why bother adding an unmeasured quantity of a low value fertilizer at all?" MY ANSWER: The rabbit manure gives "staying power" for the plant, whereas triple 13, will give the plant a jump start but not more than a few months staying power. *_Thank you for your questions._* I wish I were only 67 years young, I am 80 years young and still going strong. As to my gardening skills, I have been gardening for well over 50 years, that doesn't mean I know everything, but experience is a good teacher.

Sir, thanks for answering my questions. I have been gardening for a couple decades but I will learn a lot from you, I am sure, as you may be growing some different varieties than me. I liked your Newburg onion video so much that last night I ordered some seeds from Nichols. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
How did you make the soil blocks?
With my soil block maker. Google search on: OAG Soil Blocks
and you will find my video.

OldAlabamaGardener thank you!
From the way you planted the cabbage, I am assuming you do not have gophers.
Gophers are called by different names depending on where you are located. But, no, I don't have pests in my garden.

Thank you for this presentation. Would a similar application work for collards? I'm guessing it would since they are both cruciferous vegetables.
Yes, because they are both leafy vegetables. And to add, it would also work for broccoli, Bok Choy, any vegetable that the part to eat is the leaves. Thanks for watching.

Rabbit manure? Anything else that can be substituted?

In this cabbage transplanting vid you used 1/2 tablespoon 13-13-13 to fertilize. On the March 1, 2015 vid, you fertilized the cabbage transplants with 1/2 teaspoon 10-10-10 and azomite. Which method works best? Why the difference?
The triple 13 works best because it is a little stronger than the triple 10. The Azomite is not a fertilizer, so it doesn't add anything to the plant growth. Azomite is minerals only. Why the difference: I am always learning through trial and error how to better grow vegetables. And I share with you both my success and not so good success. Thank you for watching my videos. If you haven't yet, please subscribe.

@@OldAlabamaGardener Ok thanks, I just sent you another question
@@OldAlabamaGardener Do you not use Azomite at all anymore? If not, why the change of heart?
@@MrTitanscout I am currently out of it and haven't bought more.

I miss you so… 😢

@@OldAlabamaGardener thank you
Shadecloth maybe.
@@RomeliaGomez-Calmell7934 yes..great idea..thx
Are your 1 gallon pots a full gallon or a trade gallon(.66 gallon)? I'm shopping for 1 gallon pots now and most are "trade gallons" ("Pots are classified a nursery trade gallon pot and hold .66 gallon of soil")?
I don't know.The pots I use are left over pots where we bought plants over the 40 years we have lived here. I reuse them year after year.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener Ok, I guess that means that they are "trade gallons", as apparently that's what nurseries call their one gallon pots. Thanks again for your help, have a great evening
@@MrTitanscout Until you mentioned it, I never heard of "Trade gallon pots". About where are you located?
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener Middle TN, near KY. Just look up "1 gallon nursery pots" on Amazon, for example. Almost all of the "1 gallon" pots that you will find are actually "trade gallons" when you read the description. It appears to be the standard for nurseries. They clearly state that they are actually only .66 gallons.
What is county do you living at ? I m looking small agricultural land to move there

Why the rabbit poop? Is that a form of fertilizer? I missed it. Also what do you recommend to keep animals away?
Hello and welcome to my videos. What kind of animals? Rabbit poop is rabbit manure. It is an animal fertilizer.
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener squirrels, cats, mice and possums mostly. I stay in a city. Urban area. Thanks for your quick response!!!!
How do you make horse manure tea? I know that you put manure and water in a bucket, but how long does it need to brew, etc.?
It will depend on the weather as to how long it will take. When the weather is warm in summer it should be ready in about a week. If you can bubble it with an aquarium air pump it will produce quicker. I like to help you with your gardening, canning the garden produce, cooking the garden produce, and improving your health, I have videos on all this.

@@OldAlabamaGardener I'm trying to do it now in zone 7a, 60's daytime, low 40's at night. I guess it will take a while. I need to plant this week, collards and broccoli. Can I mix water and manure, put it in my holes, cover with a couple inches of soil, then put my triple 13 in and plant them?
@@MrTitanscout One other thought about manure: If the horse grazed on a pasture or was fed hay from a pasture that was sprayed with herbicides, as many farmers do to control broad leaf weeds, then the manure could have residue of Round-Up in it. Do you know if the manure you are planning to use is from horses that were grazed on pastures sprayed or hay fed to them was from pastures sprayed?
OAG
@@OldAlabamaGardener no herbicides to the best of my knowledge
@@MrTitanscout If the pasture or hay was treated, it will affect your vegetable crops. As to mixing manure with water and putting it in the planting holes, I think that should be okay. About where are you located?
OAG
Miss you. Miss your knowledge. 😕
