- Wear gloves and pick spikey cabbages until they evolve into red cabbages.

- Wield your axe and pick the red cabbages until they evolve into aquatic cabbages.

- With a fishing rod in your inventory, pick the aquatic cabbages until they evolve into cabbage trees.

- Still with your axe, pick the cabbage trees until they evolve into frozen cabbages.
