How big are your cabbage plants? I know a seedling's leaves will turn purple on the undersides if it is kept too damp and too cold (like from a draft). This is akin to a baby turning blue when it's too cold...

Also, what amendments did you put into your soil? Are you in-ground or in a container? Could you possibly post a picture of your ailing cabbages?

I'm going on my 4th season growing cabbages, and never have encountered this malady. Will try to help as I can, but need a wee bit more information...

Hugs!
