What can cause cabbage to lose flavor? I harvested my first (Golden Acre) cabbage of the year and it tasted slightly bland compared to last year. Could too much shade cause that? This year they got some shade from a fence while last year they got more sun. Or maybe not enough or too much fertilizer?
Is it an heirloom cabbage? Iām asking because other crops in the same family can cross pollinate and affect flavor.
I had a whole crop of watermelon once that tasted like cucumber š
