Cabbage school project

[Hollylasue]

So my little girl comes home all happy with her Bonnie cabbage plant to grow for the cabbage project. The problem is I have never successfully grown cabbage.I try every year and nothing.Last year I had a baseball sized head full of cabbage worms. She is so excited and I don't want to let her down but it's just not easy for me.So what are some tips on cabbage, in ground or container, fertilizer anything that might help is at least get a decent head.
