This morning, I ate breakfast out and I found a small dish there that reminded me of a dish I used to eat when I was a child in my village. Our village had a habit of growing Chinese cabbage and every family planted it each year. When winter came, the cabbage was harvested. Some of them were sold out and some of them were put somewhere to eat later. Now let me tell you how to make a simple dish. When my relatives visited my family, my mom would make a few dishes to treat them. One of the dishes was a cool Chinese cabbage core. First, remove the old leaves from Chinese cabbage and just use its core. Second, cut the cabbage core into small pieces and wash them clean. Third, put the proper amount of salt, sesame oil into them and mix them together, but remember not to add soy sauce because it will damage the cabbage’s color. Now the dish is done. This dish tasted fresh, refreshing and it was very popular at that time. But now it is difficult to have the opportunity to eat it.

I didn’t know exactly about this correction, could you please tell me the reason? Thank you very much.

Your original ("When winter came, the cabbage(s) was/were harvested.") is correct grammatically. Since you are speaking of an event in the past that happened repeatedly, rather than just one time, it makes it more natural to say "would come/would be harvested".
This page explains that "would" implies repetition in the past. Since you would harvest the cabbages every year (not just one time in the past), it makes more sense to use "would"

Hope this makes sense, English grammar can be confusing!
