Frequently Asked Questions

What disease problem is most common for Brassica oleracea var. capitata (savoy cabbage), and how can I stop it?

Watch for black rot (Xanthomonas) and leaf spot during cool, damp weather—symptoms include yellow V-shaped patches on leaves and dark, decaying spots. Remove and discard infected outer leaves immediately, avoid overhead watering, and rotate Brassicaceae crops so cabbage isn’t grown in the same bed for at least 3–4 years. If problems persist, start new heads from clean transplants and keep plants evenly watered (stress increases disease).

How often should I water Verona Savoy during the 60–75 day head-filling phase?

During head formation, keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged: aim for about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water per week, adjusting for heat and rainfall. Water deeply 1–2 times weekly rather than frequent light sprinkling so moisture reaches the root zone. Mulch to reduce drying, because dry-to-wet swings can lead to cracked heads in Savoy cabbage.
