My cabbage seems to have some type of ash on it and throughout it. Any ideas? Also, once it is harvested, do I pull it up and start fresh next year?

Cabbage is an annual. Once you harvest the heads the roots of the plant will die and should be removed from the garden. Start with fresh seeds or transplants next year.
