Many of the more familiar varieties include bok choy, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, and mustard greens. The first thing to know about growing cruciferous vegetables is that they are heavy plants that need a solid soil bed as a support base. Also, they need a healthy balance of potassium, phosphor, and nitrogen in overall alkaline soil. dust the soil with bone meal. The bone dust adds to the phosphorous levels. Also, by adding wood ash, you can raise potassium levels to make the soil more alkaline. need some physical room for broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, collard greens, and Brussels sprouts to grow since they occupy a rather large space. Cabbage is a heavy feeder; it quickly depletes the soil of nutrients and needs a steady supply of water and nutrients throughout its growth. Needs full sun (6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day) . Make sure the space gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day.
