When the cabbage is of decent size squeeze the head. It should be very firm for most varieties. The sugarloaf types aren't quite as solid. If you leave them too long they start to expand as the flower stem begins to develop. Eventually the cabbage will burst as the flower stem pushes its way out.

I suppose it depends on the variety of cabbage graham, example, recently I bought one I'd never seen before called Tuscan Cabbage which doesn't look like cabbage at all, more like Kale with long narrow leaves that can be taken off the parent plant. I use a method of growing which doesn't involve seeds which is to press into the soil/compost what remains from a bought half or even quarter cabbage which does produce roots and puts out like a stem from which small ones appear which are then cut off for cooking, size then is the criteria.

I have a few cabbages growing what I want to ask if they're is a problem when the outer leaves are very big, will this take away the nutrients from the vegetable.

I have been searching for an answer to this question too. I went on the site "Grow with Bonnie". They say farmers do not remove the outer leaves because they capture more sun and produce better cabbages. Hope this helps.
