While I'm thinking about cabbages - how do other growers decide when a cabbage is ready to harvest? I'm interested in growing them as big as possible before they burst. We look for firm heads, of course. Someone suggested the "top" leaves of the head (not the outer leaves) become thin and paler. Someone else suggested waiting as late as when they start to feel just slightly pointy in the center. How do you decide?

Thanks,
