One of the neighbor kids brought his little Bonnie plant to me for help. We just set it out in the garden and it is really growing nice right now but I don't know if it will have time to head up before it gets too hot.

If you keep a cabbage dusted with Dipel dust it will keep the worms under control with little effort but it does need to be reapplied after heavy rains. I feed all my similar type plants with Urban Farms Vegetable fertilizer every week. Cabbage is a heavy feeder so frequent feedings and plenty of water are necessary for them to get to a good size. The only other pest that really bothers me with cabbage is sometimes slugs will crawl up inside the cabbage. They don't really stop them from growing but they are very yucky when you find them.
