Type of seedlings used when planting cabbage

When planting cabbage, it is common to use cabbage seedlings. These are young cabbage plants that have been started from seeds and grown in a nursery before being transplanted into the garden or field. Using seedlings can help ensure a more successful and uniform crop, as they are already established and have a head start on growth compared to planting seeds directly into the ground.

- Transplants: Started indoors or in a greenhouse and then transplanted into the field. This is the most common method for planting cabbage.
- Direct seeding: Sowing the seeds directly into the field. This method is more labor-intensive, but it can be cheaper and more convenient.
