How long does it take to have sprouts forming on the stem. I've planted in December and the plant is just green resembling a rape plant. Do I need to take off leaves from the bottom to encourage growth?

Look for some grubs or caterpillars and research some sprays on the internet. Read the label of the insecticide. Pick the caterpillars off and kill them.

You should be ok. Good idea to check planting times before buying/planting seeds or seedlings. You also have to consider your local conditions.

If you mean when do you start zucchini seedlings, specifically, the chart says you should start them in September in your zone.

Work out your climate zone from the Blue Tab across the top of the page. Then go to the vegie you want to grow to find out when to plant the seeds. Use the monthly calendar for when to plant seeds or seedlings. With little seeds like cabbage it may be better to buy seedlings. Do some research on the internet about growing vegies -
