- Brassicas are a tricky crop that are all about timing and temperature. Mess those up, and your cabbage, kale, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. will mature too quickly and leave you with a bad taste in your mouth, literally and figuratively! Here are some of the lessons we've learned in failing with brassicas for a few years :)

Brassica are probably the most important vegetables to learn to grow nutrition-wise if you're after self-sustainability.
I think the brassica rapa varieties are much easier to grow though, and also really nutritious. Beet greens, parsley root, watercress, sweet potatoes, carrots, pumpkins, blueberries, currants, purslane, amaranth, salsify are all easier to grow in my climate as well, and very nutritious.
You got that one right! There are so many vitamins and enzymes in those vegetables 🥦, I really wish people would have a garden and enjoy the pleasure of such wonderful taste! I even hugged trees, give them the thank you 🙏 for giving us everything we need. I love Mother Nature so intensely! Enjoy everyone what God gave us for free!
They take a LOT of room though.
I'd say nutrition wise it'd be spinach, kale and watercress.
My husband and I have converted our small backyard into a huge garden. We've been encouraged to become more self sufficient, and have recently started our own CZcams channel to help encourage others as well. Thanks for all you do, always enjoy watching 🌱
Hey, great advice! A farmer friend of mine told me not to water over plants in the middle of the day when it's very hot out, because, rather than "cooling off" the plants, the water droplets can act like little magnifying glasses and burn tiny holes into the leaves. This information would only be pertinent in places that regularly reach high temperatures in which most brassicas won't grow anyway, but I found this tip fascinating and very helpful, nonetheless.
😰 my garden is frozen solid. It won't thaw out for months. Watching your garden videos are cheering me up.
Funny side note- my 5 year old granddaughter planted the mustard seeds from the spice rack in my houseplants. Now she is eating them.Baby brassica are so cute and tasty.
Last year I covered my brassicas with agrifabric hoop houses. Worry free. No bugs of any kind and the most beautiful leaves ever. and I've always had moth and aphid issues. This year all the brassicas will get the agrifabric and plants that need pollinating will be covered by chicken wire.
Just needed this video. I'm in a cold zone with a really short grow season, so these cold weather crops are some of the only I can grow well!
Yes!! This year my goal is to cover the entire bed of brassicas because the cabbage moths are the worst. I'm also going to plant them much earlier!
I've learned the same thing over the last 5 years, growing in zone 7 in VA. I start seeds in June-July and transplant end of August. Also has many less pests in the fall compared to spring plantings.
We learned in fall of 2021 that we LOVE brussels sprouts. Will be doing many more of those next year. Cauliflower and Kale are our next two favorites.
I'm going to try that. I live in Hampton Roads area.
Thank you for sharing this! We are in Southern Maryland, going to try this too.

Just learned about covering the cauliflower with its leaves. I read something about it that had confused me. But with you showing and explaining it made it clear. Thanks so much!!!
I am so excited to see San Juan Cabbagestrano Jr’s growth this year!! You’re really showing us that gardening is about taking your “failures” (I say that very lightly) or unsuccessful crops and learning from them to have more success next time. I really need to try growing some kale this year! Thank you for always sharing your knowledge with us. 🖤🌱
That's what it's all about
Random thing that helped me this year; I bought a military mosquito net to hang around my leafy greens & brassicas. Not a caterpillar or slug or snail on them. I sprinkle some Diatomaceous earth occasionally but not often. Try it, it has saved me so much time not picking stuff off my Brussels!
Nice video! Brassica are one of the easiest for me to grow in my climate, had so much bruxell sprout last year it was amazing!
Some tips for bruxell sprout that helped me:
-Pruning the leaves along the tree will help it grow taller
-Cutting the top of the plant when it is tall enough will make your bruxell sprout grow bigger
Great tips!
Hey Kevin, in regards to variety selection, there’s a killer cauliflower hybrid called Song TJS65 (Johnny’s has it!) - I grow it all year round in Hawaii (zone 12a), avg daytime temp of 75-80. It doesn’t get bitter if you forget to blanch it, the harvest window is much larger because it still tastes the same as the curds loosen a bit, AND it matures super early. Epic variety for sure!
Adding to my list!
I hoping for a chance to grow in HI.
Ive been looking for people growing in HI. I currently grow in SC and love it, but i want warmer tropical weather. So i dont have to bring my papaya inside in winter lol
Im in tropical Australia. Ill be looking for something like this.
@@epicgardening if you look above at my comment, there is a scammer using your Epic Gardening name and logo trying to inform me I am a winner and to WA the person. The channel has no content.
@@madmanjim795 i got that as well, how rude!
I never knew gardening would be so much fun to learn until your videos. Thank you for teaching me how to grow, cultivate, plan (I'm not a planner), and become a very healthy water. You are so amazing.
Means the world to hear this
Thank you for this. I live in the Caribbean and my first set of cauliflower did okay in the rainy season. We are now in the dry season and the sun is really out and bad and my new set of cauliflower just aren't here for it. Now I know what NOT to do. Good luck to San Juan Cabbagestrano Junior! We're all rooting for him!
I live in the Caribbean as well. There are heatset varieties for our area. I grow Snowwhite cauliflower and they do very well in the heat.
@@Lexieswiff I've never seen that variety. Will definitely look out for it. Thanks.
@@Lexieswiff thanks
I finally had success with cabbage here in the Caribbean...my 4th attempt. The dry season is a major challenge.
In jamaica and I tried twice and the seeds did not germinate
I just harvested my very first broccoli crown! I didn’t set out to garden over the winter, I thought I would be harvesting for Thanksgiving! I’m learning so much from the experience, we have had unexpected freezing temperatures and snow, I covered them with plastic and last weekend I built a low tunnel for any future weather challenges. I did have cabbage moth issues to begin with, next time I will keep them covered from the start. As someone else commented the timing of this video could not be better!! Thanks Kevin!
Thanks, Kevin. Very helpful. My brassicas were a disaster last year. Hope springs eternal 2022!
Cutter worms took out my kale and brassicas entirely last season... now it's game on!! I am determined to cultivate all of the cabbage and brussels that my heart desires --- HUGE THANK YOU for your tips today!!!!!!
I too learned that cabbage doesn't grow well here in Florida in the Springtime. It eventually gets too hot so I now plan for a late winter early spring harvest. But we also have a big problem with the cabbage moth so I buy the Agribon grow cover and keep them covered the whole season. I might open it when it is warm and sunny a few times but they're mostly under cover and grow beautiful.

Wow I'm 9b and have all the brassica growing super easily.
Eric. really what brand of cabbage and what soil do you used?.I can't grow nice head of cabbage,this is my second time around and still the same results.I live in 9b zone also.help
Great tips! I had great success with cabbage a couple years ago and a good harvest of cauliflower last year. Now I know what I did to have success and what I need to do to prevent the cauliflower from turning green ans being sweeter.. small tips about the bugs are super helpful! Thank you
Continuing to still live vicariously through you and your sunshine, both real and personality-wise. The North of England is super chilly at the moment. Had a gorgeous drive to work in -3 degrees with winter sunshine glinting off all the frost, stunning. Was late as I had to pull over and just look at it!
Keep up the great work as ever, the epic pond is simply incredible and these brassicas look the absolute business! ❤️
Glad to provide a little garden inspo!
Beginner gardener in a hot zone and have been scared to try brassicas until this video and your Brussel sprouts for beginners video. Gonna try it this fall/winter. Thank you for giving me the courage to mess up and learn from my mistakes for future success.
I am in California too and I have had good cabbage harvests if everything goes right and many fails. Main problem is that it is still hot late in the fall here further inland, so you can't start in September. If I start in late October, the November to January persephone period with low light seems to halt most growth. Then it depends on when the warm weather arrives. If it gets too warm in February, many times my cabbages don't do great. Two years ago we had a very cool spring, I had great cabbages then.
I live in Oceanside just a short way up from you and I can’t tell you how much you have helped me and my wife will our garden. Thank you very much for what you do. Please continue on.
I have a indoor winter growing area in my home in New England but the temperatures are still too chilly to grow warm crops like basil or cilantro. My new favorite to grow and eat is leaf broccoli-Spigariello Liscia. Never heard of it until I bought some seeds mainly to round up my order for free shipping. Extremely easy to grow, pest resistant, and tastes like spinach/kale.
Hi, Kevin! Congratulations on a great series! In this episode you concentrated on Western brassicas and mentioned your challenges with them in San Diego. You would have far fewer challenges and much larger harvests if you grew East Asian brassicas, which have been bred for warmer climates. My wife grew (organically) tons of various types of Chinese brassicas while living in San Diego, with four or five harvests per year. Cold climate brassicas are unsuited for your climate zone. In my native Northern Europe we traditionally don’t even as much as look at kale and Brussels sprouts before the first frost. Here in California, I have been known to put them into the freezer for at least one hour before cooking, and they taste sweeter then.
Really interesting video, have one thing to add to growing Brassicas in colder climates. In colder parts of Europe the leafy varieties of Brassicas (like kale) are left in the bed through winter and harvested as needed until spring arrives. Even relatively severe frost doesn't really damage the plants. As it gets warmer they will then begin to flower so they're best harvested before that.
Cheers
Huge green grasshoppers took out the majority of my brassicas last fall. Lucky I succession planted and put them in the greenstalk instead of my birdie bed. And those are doing well.
Many brassicas taste the best after freezing temperatures. Kale, brussel sprouts and OMG savoy cabbage. Soo sweet I thought my husband had seasoned them with honey. The advice is therefore to check and see what brassicas benefit from freezing. Kale easily takes minus 18 degrees celcius.
Yay for late Fall planting ! This will be my first time growing root crops which never did good in Spring/Summer. Thanks for you tried and true expertise.
There is a white cauliflower variety called Twister that might interest you. It’s leaves grow around the head to protect it so you don’t have to wrap it. Grows vertical so it’s perfect for raised beds. I’m in zone 9a and it grows great here.
Loved this video! I have 50% rate for both success and failure. I’ve noticed that collard greens can be more heat tolerant than other types of brassicas. I had to pulled it out at the beginning of summer because in Sydney it gets too much (and the aphids were loving it!! 🤬). I’ve also notices that the moths only come to my brassicas when starts to warm up, not during winter, which is a blessing. What I have though it’s a BIRD PROBLEM is young seedlings I put outside. The tip on water: 100% true, my water bill goes to the roof with these guys!
I am in awe with every one of your videos. You drop so much knowledge. So helpful. Planning spring garden for zone 7a Nevada now. Thank you, sir! 😁
I'm so excited to be starting my own garden this year! Thanks for always inspiring
Great video, thanks! The cabbage moth is my biggest foe in the garden. I just bought my mesh protector and I am growing all the brassicas this year.
Okay. I just watched to the end of the video and heard you address cabbage moth problems. Next year I will cover my plants. Thanks for the tips!! 👍🏼
Nice, they look so healthy and delicious!
I mulch the soil under my brassicas with garden clippings like grass, and with hay and whatever cover material I can find. It keeps the water in and the soil cool and fertilizes it a bit as well. Being a bit lazy too, so it saves me a bit of work.
It will be some net this year!! Last year I sprayed BT but in the end I gave up (had harvested most of it anyway)
I though I was the only one who had issues with Brassicas, I am somewhat reliefed now!;) They are quite tricky, especially in hot climates.....thanks for all the tips, you live and learn....cheers
Nice Video, I am starting lots of Broccoli and other Brassica plants now...they do well here pretty much all year, with a bit of help. 😊
That's great!

@@potatoes1640 I got the same suspicious reply.
@@epicgardening I got a suspicious reply saying I won a giveaway.
What's going on with that?
The green circle is different than yours.
Perfect! Thank you for this. We were wanting to try some of those this year (UK) so this vid was perfect timing, we'll tweak our timings and care from this. Valuable advice, very appreciate it. 👍
Had non stop rain last summer, so all my greens went to the snails. Let's hope it'll go better this year 😅.
I’m definitely netting all my brassicas this year. Everything ate them last year. Slugs, snails, harlequin bugs, cabbage moths, and aphids. Barely got any harvest at all. Trying to stay away from chemicals, so hopefully netting will do the trick.
Fingers crossed for ya~!
Look into coplanting lots of stuff can deter pests or attract predators that will help control the problem species
Crumbled egg shell around the base will help deter the slugs & snails.
Diatomaceous earth powder 👌🏻
I am soooo excited!! My 2 Birdie beds should be delivered on Monday... I can wait until Spring to plant them up.... 1 veggies.... 1 flowers!!!
Can't wait to get them to you!
I struggle with cabbage moths too. This year I am trying to experiment with red cabbage and redbore kale varieties. We have also planned to install some bat boxes. My theory is that predators will be able to easily see bright green cabbage moths on purple and red plants and will be picked off by birds and other predators. If that fails, we’ll cover with mesh netting. Wish me luck!
Try bt thurnicide which is a natural way to kill the larvae of the cabbage moth. You dilute in water and spray as needed. Of course they'll have yo munch your brassica bit then they die.
Perfect timing, my brassicas are going to be potted up soon. Thank you ❤️❤️😁😁🌻🌻
Great video.! My Grandmother (New Zealand) taught me to cover the cauliflower head just by snapping a large leaf, without breaking it completely and folding that over the cauli head. A less labour intensive method.
I am in Fl, I transplant my brassicas in November, by January I start to picking cabbage,broccoli, collard green, by January my tomatoes plants are bringing out tomatoes; we have eating 3 times new potatoes, almost all the carrots 🥕 are done, I don’t have cauliflower yet, I had pick beets! By April I am canning sauce for the year, drying spices. I have been picking gandules and freezing them and the brassicas. You have quite of beautiful garden there.
THANK YOU!!!!!! Brassicas are definitely a challenge for me!!!
I have a fair share of Brassica and Broccoli growing. Because I'm in zone 9b/10a I have to be careful about when to plant because we don't get much cold weather here in South FL. These are some great tips. Thank you for the knowledge!
Definitely going to apply these tips for growing brassicas this year here in Central Ohio (zone 6). I had just about given up on these types of veggies. Cabbage moths always decimated them. I’ll be adding brassicas back to the 2022 garden list. Thanks for the tips.
I'm in central Ohio too and would be interested in how you're brassica are doing
@@tarar6926 I’m in centra Ohio too! I transplanted mine end of March and they look like they have barely grown. No pest issues… I am not sure what is going on 🥴
Being in east TN (USDA zone 7a) I grow two groups of brassicas, one in spring (started indoors in mid January and transplanted in late March and usually harvested by end of May) and another in fall (direct sow seed into garden end of August or early September and harvest well into December even early January). I will dig any plants that I want to use for seed production and place them in cool areas of garage or basement with roots in five gallon buckets of damp sand if temps are going to be below 15 degrees F for a prolonged period. Aside from temperature issues, I have never had issues growing brassicas, aside from keeping insects off of them, but proper timing helps with that also since brassicas grow best at temps below what most pest insects will tolerate. Biggest issue I have is with cabbage loopers, which seem to tolerate far cooler temps than any of the other pest insects, and one or two applications of Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) spray, limits the damage. Have had some luck using wormwood steeped in hot water and spraying resulting decoction around plants as a deterrent.
Wow your plants looks amazing...Keep Smiling
As a novelty, I replanted the scraps from last year's St. Paddy Day corn beef meal. The celery grew, bolted, dropped seed, and I now have a fresh batch of celery grown from that seed. The cabbage grew into huge plants with stalks, bolted, and also dropped seed. Carrot tops grew, and flowered. But I don't see any new carrots from those seeds. Potato grows and regrows in my yard without effort - like a weed. It's now February 1st, and I see little cabbage seedlings scattered about. I'm hoping that they survive and give me cabbage heads.
Brassica have been one of the easiest plants for me to grow in Florida winters. I literally have 50 varieties growing right now just POPPIN off. All in ground, all organic, and I don't water.
In my climate we get two seasons with these guys. Spring and winter. It's dope.
Hey Kevin, I've used calendula lately as a sacrificial plant in my garden kind of near my brassicas for aphid issues. It worked nicely in the spring here in Toronto. The ladybugs came shortly after, so I didn't have to sacrifice too many of the flowers. They're great though because they grow back to easily with the heat of summer. I struggle a lot with kales and broccoli in my garden too, so I hope this year I can enjoy some from the garden.
Great tip!!
I know this comment is a year old but I may steal this idea for some fruit trees that get attacked by aphids every year
Your garden looks fabulous. Here in Texas I have a striped cabbage worm as well as the loopers. I am having brassica envy!!
I live in hot climate and never success in planting this. Tried many times and different varieties many years ago until I stop planting that altogether. Love your video.
I live in tropical Indonesia and Kale is a trooper - it thrives in the tropical heat!
Lol...I was just reading about when to start brassicas in my area....determined to get it right this year! Your cauliflower looks great🌞
For me in a cold zone. Kentucky, starting my brassica plants now indoors. As soon as once they sprout start bringing outside daily to acclimatize them for 20 minutes or so. Once temps here are constant 50s put in ground. Cover with tulle/netting immediately because of white flies. Replant indoors in late late summer to have ready to plant outside in cooler fall temps. Good luck
I've also found brassicas difficult to grow, I'm glad it's not just me. They have a lot of pests here from cabbage white butterflies to flea beetles, pigeons, slugs and snails. They can also get club root and they require a lot of nutrients. I love kale but have only been able to grow a small amount so far due to the above. When I tried growing salad greens in the brassica family they got annihalated by flea beetles and I had to throw them away. I'm trying again this year hoping for better success, what you said about timing is interesting.
I’ve had 1 successful crop of Broccoli plants without many florets. The leaves were gorgeous though and huge. So I made broccoli leaf chips out of them. They are like kale chips and delicious. Little olive oil and salt and bake for 5 min on 350 f. I also used flavored oil and skipped the salt. Thanks for the video, I’m going to try an early crop in my cold zone.
Good knowledge, thank you fir sharing
It has been a very hot fall. My Brussel sprouts stopped growing, crazy amount of aphids on cabbages, I did get some broccoli before the roller coaster temperatures killed them, along with my kale. Thank you for the tips. I’ll try it again next year.
Is this comment from you, Kevin? Saying yo contact by phone because I won something?
Happy New Year, great video, thanks for sharing & take care 🙂
Hey Kevin love the haircut looking good! So excited to see broccolis and cauliflowers :)
Thx!
Thanks for sharing. I might start to grow cabbage, cauliflowers & brocolli this time since only growing tomatoes & potatoes 4 the past years.
That's a great tip for cauliflower! I think that may help provide some light frost protection. Where I live the seasons can be unpredictable and temperatures inconsistent, sometimes if you can survive a night or two, you might be able to extend a fall crop for another month or two!
Glad I decided to look up your video on how to grow these before sewing the seeds lol. I'm in southern Arizona (8b) and almost planted them in April (it will be in the 100s here in a month or so). guess well be waiting for fall:)
I've been waiting for this episode!
I have cauliflower heads that often outgrow the leaves, so I have to harvest the cauliflower heads before they grow large. Before harvest, as soon as the heads start to appear, I gather the leaves around them and secure them, but by the next day, they have sprung back open. Repeat day after day and the heads are starting to grow wild, look weird and turn funky colours, as they have been exposed to light. Of course, they don’t taste any different, but I’d love to be able to present a normal cauliflower at the dinner table!
Enjoyed this. Cheers.
Thank's for your great channel and ideas! It has been nice, and in many ways enlightening, to follow your work geographically and climate-wise so far from my own situation. I am in Central Finland (between zones III and IV, 62° 14′ 30.04″ N, 25° 44′ 58.19″ E). With growing brassicas, it is for us rather a question of dealing with acidity of the soil (loads of conifers) and, of course, balancing with the temperature. We do nowadays get very warm periods during summer, but from your perspective the climate is indeed cool. The sun, as you probably know, is up there constantly during summer months, so with proper selecting of location on our lot, light might not be a big issue. However, being here in the middle of pine and spruce forest, sets a challenge... All the best!
Learned so much- Thankyou!
So many great tips! Thanks, Kevin 😊👍🏼🥦
Good vid. I have the same issues u had. Timing was my issue so I'm banking on getting it right this spring
Brassica plants are so hard for ne to grow. I'm in zone 7B and the struggle is real! I needed this video, thank you.
I'm in continental Croatia. (Cold winters, hot summers). We plant cauliflower in August and harvest in November to January, when it's actually minus. Watering morning and evening. Green cabbage does works during the hot summers too, so we grow those in the spring and in the autumn. Harvested the last cabbage a week ago :) I think we will try Brussels sprouts this year too. Cauliflower nowadays usually has leaves that rotate while growing and they cover the heads very well, but if they don't, just break off one of the bigger leaves and cover the cauliflower with it. You don't have to tie it.
(Don't eat the big leaves from cauliflower. It's not nice. Just give it to the compost.)
Great tips. Thank you!
Growing broccolis in Perth WA during our summer and it's hitting 41 C (105 F).
still had great success with brocs bigger than my fist.
Tbf I have a lot of experience but honestly I'm amazed at how well the genetics of a "heat resistant" Broc can hold up even in our brutal Aussie climate.
those are some awesome tips on growing Brassicas I have had my fail's when It especially comes to cabbage I have never been able to get a head of cabbage yet I have not quite figured out what I am doing wrong
Our brussel sprouts take allllllll of our Michigan growing season.... They've done well through our summer but I can't say the same for anything else, lol. Broccoli and bok Choi always seem to bolt on me but with the broccoli, we found we liked the leaves even after it started bolting. And we did end up getting some nice secondary florets
Yeah they're soooooo slow!
Yes! Thank you for this video!!!
I feel ya on the white cabbage moth lol that's the only thing I've been struggling with, great video!
Thanks for this.
One of the things I love about you is that you grow little bits to eat all along, but because you are so warm, I found Steve's Seaside Kitchen Garden & Allotment in the UK (youtube) for varieties that do well in cooler climates...would be fun to have you zoom collab with him on growing winter stuff. I think you guys would complament each other well.
I finally get to see his backyard!
Thank you that was really helpful!
Omg!!! I am laughing so hard! Re: your cabbage- “This is my child and I will protect it!” Hahaha!!!
I found my Brussel Sprouts attracted more aphids than the other brassicas. My cauliflower has been exceptional, broccoli was a little disappointing. Went to flower quickly! Thanks for he good info.
STUNNING!
Nice cauliflower and great advice video! Thanks!
This was very helpful
Thanks for this, definitely planted my broccoli in the wrong spot last year
Brassicas don't like warm weather at all. Through much trial & error over the years I've learned to grow them only in the late Fall through early Spring. I'm in WA, 8b, just south of Canada where the temps are generally mild. Brassicas definitely thrive in cooler temperatures(40's-50's), and many are cold-hardy well below freezing. Another benefit to growing them during the cold time of year is there are almost no insect pests like cabbage moths, aphids, black flies.
"This is my child. I will protect it with my life." Epic line.
Perfect timing 😄
Gary Pelarchik (The Rusted Garden) has a video where he harvests FROZEN broccoli and turnips from under snow to make a hearty soup. Never knew that was possible.
They're quite cold hardy!
Thanks this video was needed
