The last day of planting late cabbage. Cleaning and storage of cabbage

Cabbage is grown in all regions of Russia, in Belarus and other CIS countries. There are many types of cabbage, each of them requires a special approach, not only when growing seedlings.

Planting cabbage in open ground with seedlings also has its own subtleties. A good harvest is obtained if the rules of agricultural technology are applied. Many gardeners have their own secrets, so cabbage heads of the same variety differ in size and density. Feeding, watering, loosening - everything must be done on time and with love, in compliance with the growing technology.

How to correctly determine the timing of planting seedlings in open ground

Experienced gardeners know that the future harvest depends on the age of the seedlings before planting in open ground. The seeds of each type of vegetable, depending on the variety, are sown in different time so that by the time of planting the plants are strong and healthy.

The optimal age of seedlings of different types of cabbage

Consider how many days seedlings should grow different types cabbage. This is best seen in a table.

Air temperature and degree of soil heating

Almost all representatives cabbage family are cold hardy crops. When 4 true leaves appear on the seedling, it already endures a short-term drop in temperature to -5 ° C. But this does not mean that you can plant seedlings at any time. Cabbage seedlings should be planted on beds when average daily temperature+8-10°С. By this time, the soil also has time to warm up. Some gardeners living in the southern regions and central Russia plant cabbage seeds in open ground. Each well is covered with a cut plastic bottle. When choosing the timing of planting, the variety and varietal characteristics are taken into account.

Many gardeners in the timing of planting cabbage seedlings are guided by the lunar calendar. As a rule, it indicates only a few days when you can do work.

• April - 17-29, auspicious days - 20-23;
• May - 9-11, 26-29, 31;
• June - 1-3, 5-8, 10-12.

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to get out to the dacha in the offered lunar calendar terms. Experienced gardeners are guided by the flowering of bird cherry. When the flowers appear, it gets colder. In the Urals, the timing of planting cabbage seedlings on the ridges can be safely planned when the tree has faded.

If follow folk omens, then cabbage takes root well with the growing moon. Thursday is considered the best day of the week for planting seedlings.

Features of landing dates in different regions

Let's find out when to plant cabbage in open ground in different parts of our country. In central Russia, white cabbage, kohlrabi, cauliflower, broccoli and Savoy are planted in the first decade of May. Planting dates for late white and red cabbage, Brussels on the beds - the end of May. In the Urals and Siberia, the timing of planting cabbage in open ground is slightly shifted, work is carried out in early June. The air here warms up to optimal temperatures later than in the southern regions and the middle lane for a week and a half. Planting seedlings of early cabbage in open ground by region:

• Moscow region, Moscow region, southern Urals - at the end of April;
• Perm Territory, Bashkiria, Udmurtia - from May 6;
• Voronezh and Saratov regions - in the first decade of April;
• in Transbaikalia - in last days May, early June;
• southern regions of Russia, Kuban - from March 20.

According to the rules of agricultural technology, first, early varieties of cabbage should be planted on the ridges, and after two weeks - mid-ripening ones. Late cabbage is planted after 14 days.

These are approximate terms used for the cultivation of cabbage when planted in open ground: after all, the main indicator is the climatic features of the region.

Technology of planting seedlings in open ground

Gardeners involved in vegetable crop for more than one year, they know that this vegetable is a real "lady". Planting cabbage in open ground with seedlings requires the implementation of a number of rules. Only in this case, you can count on a rich harvest.

Choosing a landing site

Despite the fact that cabbage is a lover of moisture, a plot on a certain elevation is chosen for it in the garden.

Precursor plants. The rules of agricultural technology imply the use of crop rotation. Cultivation of cabbage in one place open ground Not recommended.

There are a number of crops, after which cabbage seedlings grow safely, get sick a little. It is best to plant a vegetable after:

• potatoes and tomatoes;
• onions and pumpkin crops;
• carrots;
• beans and peas;
• peppers and eggplant.

To improve the structure in autumn, oats, vetch, and mustard are sown on the ridges. In the spring, the soil is dug up along with green manure.

"Good" and "Bad" Neighbors

Cabbage is a peaceful crop, gets along with many plants. In between cabbage seedlings, you can grow spinach, lettuce, onions. good neighbors are plants with a spicy aroma. They repel pests, protect plantings from diseases. It can be:

• marigolds and tansy;
• chamomile and calendula;
• nasturtium, as well as some other herbs.

There are plants among garden crops that have a bad effect on the growth of cabbage. It is not recommended to plant cabbages in the neighborhood:

• with carrots and cumin;
• with parsnips and turnips;
• with radish and other cruciferous.

Illumination. Cabbage of all kinds is a light-loving culture. When growing seedlings, this fact must be taken into account. The lack of light leads to stretching of the sprouts, this negatively affects further development. For ridges for cabbage seedlings, open places are chosen.

Bed preparation

To grow good harvest cabbage in the beds, it is necessary to take into account the type and varietal characteristics. For some plants, a small distance between sprouts is sufficient, for others, especially late-ripening white cabbage, would need big step from hole to hole.

Application of fertilizers. Before digging the beds, compost is introduced (per m² near the bucket). At hyperacidity the soil is deoxidized with chalk or dolomite flour. In each hole before planting, use a teaspoon as a top dressing. wood ash. Ridges are dug up and holes are made.

Marking holes for planting, taking into account the required distances. When planting cabbage seedlings in the ground, you need to follow a certain scheme. In a word, you need to know what distance should be between the seedlings. The table shows the distance for different types of cabbage when planting in the ground. The type and variety of the vegetable, as well as the ripening lines, also matter.

Preparing seedlings for planting in open ground

Proper planting of cabbage in open ground involves hardening seedlings if it was grown in greenhouse conditions. Plants are taken outside within a week. First for 1-1.5 hours, then the time increases. On the fifth day of hardening, watering is reduced. If a frost return is not expected, the seedlings are left overnight. Particularly sensitive to sub-zero temperatures cauliflower seedlings.

Before planting, seedlings should have at least 4-5 true leaves.

Planting seedlings

Cabbage is planted in the ground in pre-prepared holes. The earth is well shed.

The technology for planting cabbage is simple:

1. Seedlings are carefully dug up, trying to take with a clod of earth.
2. A hole is made in the hole and the sprouts are placed up to the first true leaves.
3. Pour soil into the hole and compress it well.
4. Seedlings are watered immediately so that the earth is pressed closer to the roots.

Tip: “It is better to plan work for the evening. If the weather is cloudy, you can plant during the day.

Care of seedlings after planting in the ground

Caring for cabbage planted on ridges comes down to timely watering, loosening, hilling plantings, as well as top dressing and preventive treatments against diseases and pests.

Watering

All types of vegetables are demanding for watering at all stages of cultivation. In the first days after planting, seedlings need to be watered every day. Then - as needed. The soil in cabbage beds should always be moist. vegetable transfers cold water, so plantings can be watered from the pump. In the heat, it is desirable to carry out sprinkling. During the ripening period of heads of cabbage, plantings should be watered moderately, otherwise they will crack.

top dressing

According to the cultivation technology, cabbage is fed 2-3 times per season. To do this, you can use organic or mineral fertilizers. At least two weeks should pass between top dressings:

1. At first, plants need nitrogen to grow green mass. For feeding use nitrogen-containing fertilizers strictly according to the instructions. At this time, you can water under the root and infusions of mullein, green grass.
2. During the tying of heads of cabbage, fertilizing is carried out with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers or infusion of wood ash.

As the gardeners say, cabbage has a mouth on the leaves, so root top dressing must be combined with foliar.

Shelter in danger of frost

If the seedlings are planted early, you should be wary return frosts. You can save plants with shelter. To do this, use any covering material. Seedlings feel good under pruned plastic bottles. During the day, the lid is turned off so that the plants do not burn out, and twisted at night.

Signs that cabbage is sick after transplantation, and how to help it

Immediately after planting, some sprouts seem sluggish, drooping. Sometimes small dots appear on them. Causes of cabbage disease in the open field can be diseases or pests, insufficient soil moisture, or, conversely, too much watering.

The first reason is easy to deal with: adjust watering. As for diseases and pests, here you will have to resort to the treatment of plantings with special preparations. It is not difficult to grow cabbage of any kind if you follow the rules of agricultural technology. Your family will be provided with an environmentally friendly vegetable that can be fermented, salted, stored in fresh. All winter will be their vitamins!

Understandable with all cultures. They should be planted as early as possible - when the air warms up to optimum temperature. Only cabbage stands apart. Her early varieties are sown first, and the middle and late varieties are sown later. But when is a special question.

Early ripe varieties of cabbage can ripen as early as June-July. Therefore, they are grown only through seedlings. They are sown in late February or early March, 50-60 days before the intended landing in the ground.

Medium varieties are sown from late March to late April. This cabbage is grown both through seedlings and by sowing seeds in the ground. matures medium cabbage in July-August. Usually the harvest of medium varieties goes to fresh consumption and pickling.

Late varieties are sown for seedlings at the end of April or immediately sown in the ground. Usually they go for a long maturation or pickling.

It is better to sow cabbage immediately in separate cups. Shoots in the apartment appear quickly - on the 3-4th day. In the open field, you will have to wait a little longer. Soil for cabbage is prepared mainly from peat with a small addition of humus and earth.

Top dressing is best done with mullein or bird droppings. You can use urea instead or ammonium nitrate. In open ground, plants are placed 40 cm apart. In the aisles between late cabbage, you can plant early. When the early one is removed, the area for the later one will increase.

Thus, two crops can be harvested from one bed.

Planted medium and late cabbage in May. Standard seedlings should have no more than five leaves, weak and fungus-affected plants are discarded. Also reject sprouts without the upper kidney.

For planting, it is best to choose cloudy weather, or shade the seedlings after planting. The landing site is sprinkled with dry earth so that a soil crust does not form.

It is better to water the planted seedlings with water 3-4 ° C higher than the temperature of the earth. The first two weeks after planting, the plants are not sprayed or fed.

At this time, landings can be attacked cruciferous flea. It is soothed by dusting the plant with ash. That is, you first need to spray the seedlings clean water, and then, until the water is dry, dust with ashes. Our video channel on youtube

Cabbage is one of the most frequent "inhabitants" of vegetable gardens in our country. This vegetable perfectly takes root in different climatic conditions, has a good yield and excellent taste. Late cabbage is very popular among gardeners, as it is suitable for long-term storage fresh, pickling, pickling and other types of processing.

Late-ripening varieties of cabbage are quite unpretentious in the choice of soil, so even heavy soil is suitable for planting them. They are grown mainly through seedlings, which allows you to get strong plants and a rich harvest. Knowing, you can provide yourself with a supply of vitamins and other useful substances for the whole winter.

Terms of planting late cabbage for seedlings

Late cabbage should be sown for seedlings from mid-April to early May. Thus, already in the first half of June it will be possible to transfer seedlings to open ground. In regions where summer is short due to climatic conditions, it is possible to plant seeds for seedlings a little earlier - from the end of March.

Experienced gardeners are advised to determine when to sow late cabbage for seedlings, focusing on the desired harvest time. So, late-ripening varieties fully mature, on average, in 190 days (including the time for growing seedlings). To calculate the optimal date for planting seeds, you need to subtract this number from the planned time for harvesting vegetables. It should be noted, however, that different species late cabbage maturation times may vary.

Variety selection

You need to choose a variety of late cabbage, guided by the goals of its cultivation. Different hybrids have different taste characteristics and are not equally suitable for storage. The most common late-ripening varieties are:

• "Moscow late 015";
• "Amager 611".

They are great for growing in European climate, differ high yield and suitable for long term storage.

Best for fermentation and pickling are suitable varieties such as:

• "Guarantee F1";
• "Centaur F1";
• Askania F1.

Supermarket F1 is recognized as a universal variety, since it can be used both for conservation and for fresh storage.

Cabbage seeds should be bought only in trusted stores that sell certified products and follow the rules for its storage. Many summer residents recommend purchasing several varieties at once from different manufacturers in order to increase the likelihood of a good harvest.

Seed and soil preparation

Before sowing cabbage seeds for seedlings, they must be disinfected. To do this, the seeds are placed for 20 minutes in water heated to +50 degrees, and then for another 1 minute in cold water. Then they are poured with a solution of trace elements for 12 hours, the field is washed and left for a day in the refrigerator. Often, seeds are disinfected with a solution of potassium permanganate, but heat treatment is much more effective.

It is worth noting that it is worth carrying out the above procedure only for seeds of our own harvest and those that have not been processed in production.

The soil mixture for planting cabbage should consist of peat, sod land and sand, which are mixed in equal proportions. You can cook it yourself or buy a ready-made substrate in a gardening store. At the same time, it is categorically not recommended to use garden soil, since it can be infected various diseases.

Planting late cabbage for seedlings

The technology for sowing late cabbage for seedlings does not differ from sowing other varieties: the seeds must be planted in soil mix to a depth of 1-1.5 cm and provide seedlings with regular watering, optimal temperature regime and good lighting. can be done in two ways:

• With a pick- low boxes (5-6 cm) are filled with a substrate, in which grooves are made 1-1.5 cm deep. Seeds are placed in these "beds" at a distance of 2 cm from each other, the ground is lightly tamped and watered. After the first true leaf appears on the seedlings, they are transplanted into individual containers with fresh soil (dive).
• Without a pick- seeds are sown 2-3 pieces at once in separate containers ( disposable cups, peat tablets, cassettes with special cells, etc.). Slightly grown seedlings are simply thinned out, leaving only one of the strongest sprouts.

In order for the seeds to germinate quickly and amicably, it is necessary to provide the crops with a temperature of + 18-20 degrees. After the appearance of sprouts, the microclimate in the room is changed, cooling the air to 7-10 degrees so that the plants do not stretch out and fall off. Throughout the entire period of growth, seedlings need intensive lighting - daylight hours should last at least 12 hours.

You don’t need to water the sprouts very often, only when it starts to dry out. upper layer soil. Excessive moisture in the substrate can lead to blackleg disease in plants.

You also need to do it twice foliar top dressing seedlings: in the phase of two true leaves and immediately before hardening of seedlings (2-3 weeks before planting in open ground). For the first time, the sprouts must be sprayed with a solution of trace elements (0.5 tablespoons per 1 liter of water), and the second time with a solution of potassium sulfate and urea (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water).

Planting seedlings in open ground

It is possible when she has reached the phase of 5-6 true leaves. 2-3 weeks before this plant must be accustomed to external environment(harden), for which it is enough to take them out into the fresh air for several hours every day.

For planting cabbage, you need to choose areas well lit by the sun, where potatoes, cucumbers, cereals or legumes used to grow. If other cruciferous plants grew on the selected beds, then you can plant cabbage there only after 4 years.

To plant seedlings in previously loosened and leveled soil, holes must be made at a distance of 70 cm from each other, maintaining an interval between rows of 60 cm. Plants are placed in ready-made holes along with a clod of earth so as not to damage root system. Then the ground near them is tamped and watered, directing water under the root of the seedlings.

Kira Stoletova

Growing late cabbage is a rather laborious process. This cold-resistant garden crop is very demanding in care. To obtain a good and high-quality crop, plantings require a lot of moisture and light. Important in cultivation proper fit late cabbage.

Culture Features

Description of late cabbage:

• good yields with proper and timely care;
• long term head storage (up to 9 months);
• cleaning is carried out not only manually, but also mechanized;
• universal use in cooking - fresh, pickled, stewed;
• newly developed varieties and hybrids are highly resistant to adverse weather conditions, diseases and pests;
• almost every variety of late cabbage planted in open ground is not afraid of autumn frosts.

The period of ripening of heads of cabbage after planting seeds for seedlings is 195 days.

Soil preparation

Planting and cultivation of late cabbage is carried out in fertile and structured soil. To get a good harvest, it is necessary to plant this crop on loamy soil with a high humus content. It is in such soil that moisture is retained for the longest time, which cabbage loves very much.

Before planting seedlings on the site, it must be fertilized in early spring. For these purposes, organic matter is used - compost or rotted manure. A bucket of nutrients is added per 1 m2.

To further improve the composition of the soil, mineral components are added to organic matter - phosphorus 30 g, potassium - 20 g and complex fertilizer- 30 y.

Planting seedlings in open ground

Growing seedlings of late cabbage is carried out at home, on the windowsill, because this culture is afraid spring frosts. The technology of sowing seeds and caring for them is no different from the technology of growing seedlings of early mid-season varieties. The only difference is the timing. Optimal time for sowing seeds - the last decade of April (25-29th). This period is suitable for the Urals, the Moscow region and the regions of the middle zone. early cabbage planted in late March - early April.

Tender cabbage seedlings in open ground late varieties transplanted after the threat of the last spring frost has passed.

The scheme for planting late cabbage is as follows:

• distance between plants 55-60 cm;
• row spacing - 60 cm.

The scheme for planting late cabbage can be carried out in a checkerboard pattern. This planting significantly saves space on the site.

It is recommended to plant late cabbage in the garden in cloudy weather in the evening. So young and tender seedlings will not burn under the rays scorching sun. Plants should be planted as deep as the first leaf. Then compact well around the edges so that the plants take root better and grow upright.

Features of care

After planting late varieties of cabbage on the site, it needs to be provided with the highest quality and competent care.

Soil moisture

Regular watering is the most important condition for care, since cabbage belongs to moisture-loving crops. Irrigation is adjusted according to weather conditions.

Immediately after planting, the plants are watered at the rate of 1 liter. water per seedling. For the next twenty days, the seedlings are watered every 3 days - in the south, in the regions of the middle zone - every 4-5 days. At the same time, 8 liters are consumed per 1 m2 of area. water. After that, watering is carried out once a week with a liquid flow rate of up to fifteen liters per 1 m2.

The need for cabbage in moisture increases, especially during the formation of ovaries and heads of cabbage. During this period, the water consumption is about 20 liters. per 1 m2 of land.

After the heads of cabbage are tied, watering is reduced to 10 liters. to the same area.

If late cabbage is grown for storage, watering is stopped a month before harvesting in the regions of the middle lane, in the south - two weeks before harvesting.

Lighting

Loosening and weeding

The main care and cultivation of this crop involves regular loosening of the soil. This procedure is carried out one day after each watering. Loosening increases the moisture and air permeability of the soil.

The area with plantings should be kept clean and weeded regularly as weeds grow.

top dressing

In the process of growing, late cabbage needs to be fed. For the whole season, late cabbage, like early cabbage, is fertilized four times.

First stage

The first dressing is applied two weeks after planting seedlings in the ground. In this case, a nitrogen-containing top dressing is used, which ensures the growth of leaves when forming a rosette. Nitrogen can be contained both in organic matter and in mineral fertilizers.

Possible fertilizer options for late cabbage per ten-liter bucket of water:

• fertilizer with liquid mullein - 0.5 l.;
• ammonium nitrate - 20 gr.;
• top dressing with urea - 20 gr..

For one plant spend 0.5 liters. nutrient solution.

Second phase

Two weeks after the first feeding, the second is carried out. In this case, 1 liter is poured into each hole. liquid feed.

At this stage of growth, late white cabbage requires complex nutrition - organic matter plus mineral supplements:

1. Bird droppings (0.5 kg) are mixed with azofoska (30 g) and a tablespoon of the drug is added to this mixture - Crystalon, Kemira or Mortar. The prepared mixture is diluted in 10 liters. water.
2. Chicken manure or compost (0.5 kg), 200 g of wood ash is diluted in 10 liters. water.

Third stage

This top dressing is applied for later white cabbage. Nutrition is carried out ten days after the previous feeding:

• phosphate fertilizers (30 g) are mixed with mullein infusion (1 liter per 10 liters of water);
• phosphate fertilizers (30 g) are mixed with Crystalon, Mortar or Kemira (1 tablespoon). The resulting mixture is brought to a volume of ten liters with water.

Consumption - 10 liters per 1 m2 of land.

Such feeding is required for plants to ripen a juicy and tasty crop.

Fourth stage

Final feeding late garden culture held three weeks before harvest. This top dressing will provide heads of cabbage with a long shelf life.

There are two options for this food:

• 20 gr. potash fertilizers dissolved in 10 liters. water;
• 0.5 l. ash infusion is brought to a volume of 10 liters with cold water.

Head cutting

Harvesting of heads of cabbage on the site is carried out after the first frosts have passed. It is at this time that you need to remove the cabbage from the garden to get sweet, juicy and soft heads of cabbage. Late cabbage perfectly tolerates frosts down to -7 °. Therefore, many gardeners specifically wait for the heads of cabbage to freeze slightly, and after that they harvest the entire crop.

Cabbage is called a lady in the garden: it sits all so beautiful, round, smooth, in a thousand clothes ... Only it’s not so easy to grow cabbage of excellent quality. A rich harvest begins with growing a healthy, strong seedlings. And here it is worth paying attention to the timing of planting cabbage. They depend on the variety and variety of cabbage. In this article, we will analyze the timing of planting seeds for seedlings and planting it in open ground . We will talk about white and cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Savoy, etc. In a word, we tried to collect as much information as possible here.

Table: Planting dates for cabbage and other crops

The plate is convenient, but does not fully disclose all the information on the timing, so let's turn to other sources.

White cabbage

Varieties are divided into three types:

• early,
• mid-season,
• late-ripening.

Depending on maturity the time for sowing seeds for seedlings is calculated:

• From date possible landing seedlings subtract 45-50 days.

Seedlings of white cabbage of mid-season and late varieties are most often grown under film cover in open ground or in greenhouses, starting in April. Seedlings of early varieties can also be grown on the windowsill by sowing seeds in March (then it will be possible to harvest in late June - early July).

• early cabbage: March 20 - 25 (harvest is harvested in late June - early July),
• mid-season: from April 20 - 25 to May 1 - 3,
• late ripening: from 1 to 15 April.

Seedlings in open ground white cabbage is planted, as a rule, at the following times:

• early cabbage: at the end of April - the first decade of May,
• mid-season: from May 25 to June 5 (no later than June 10),
• late-ripening: May 15 - 25.

Seedlings ready for transplanting permanent place, has 4–5 true leaves and a height of about 15 cm. Plants that have large quantity sheets, outgrown. Extra leaves (2 lower ones) are recommended to be cut off, they will eventually wither anyway, but until that moment they will only interfere with the plant. It is best to plant seedlings in the ground in the evening, and shade the next day if the weather is hot and sunny.

Red cabbage ripens longer than white cabbage, so seeds for seedlings are sown earlier: late-ripening varieties are sown in early March, early-ripening varieties in early April.

Broccoli

Thanks to excellent palatability, this kind of cabbage is grown by almost all summer residents. They put her seedling way and sowing seeds in open ground. On the personal experience we can say that excellent broccoli grows with us from seedlings grown by us on the windowsill. In March, we sow seeds for seedlings, and at the end of May we plant seedlings in open ground. We cover young, not yet strong plants with cut 5-liter bottles. Get mini greenhouses. The seedlings are doing well. Our favorite variety is Linda. Well, now in more detail about the timing.

Sowing seeds of broccoli for seedlings is carried out 40-45 days before planting it in open ground. Optimal planting date - mid-March . Seedlings ready for planting in the ground to a permanent place in May month. By this time the plant should have 5-6 leaves. It is better not to wait until the seedlings outgrow, such plants produce small heads.

Brussels sprouts

Brussels sprouts, like other varieties, are grown in seedlings. Seeds for seedlings need to sow no later than April 25 (in middle lane RF). Seedlings ready for planting in a permanent place should also have 5-6 leaves. A plant aged 40-50 days is planted in open ground at the end of May - at the very beginning of June.

Interestingly, Brussels sprouts are a biennial plant. In the first year it bears fruit, in the second year it produces seeds. This is what happened when we accidentally left a stem sticking out in the ground Brussels sprouts for the winter:

Cauliflower

Perhaps the most capricious variety of cabbage. Cauliflower is sensitive to soils, winds, low temperatures and is especially vulnerable in the early stages of seedling cultivation.

Sowing dates for cauliflower seeds:

• Seeds are sown for seedlings on March 15-25, and seedlings are planted in the ground in late April-early May,
• Seeds are sown in open ground from the first decade of May to mid-June.

Seedlings in open ground planted at the age of 45 - 50 days.

Our harvest:

cabbage kohlrabi

It is grown in seedlings and by sowing seeds immediately in open ground, in several periods.

Seedlings are planted in 3 terms to stretch fruiting:

1. Seeds are sown in the middle - end of March, and at the end of April the seedlings will be ready for planting,
2. Seeds are sown in early May, and then on June 10-12, seedlings can be planted in a permanent place,
3. In the last week of July - sowing seeds, at the end of August - planting seedlings.

savoy cabbage

Sowing seeds for seedlings:

• early ripe varieties: 2nd decade of March, they can be planted in several - until the end of May,
• medium-sized varieties must be planted no later than April 25 (under a film or in a greenhouse),
• other varieties are grown similarly to white cabbage.

Seedlings of this variety of cabbage are planted in a permanent place at the age of 35-45 days, when 4-5 leaves are formed on the plants.

Terms of planting seedlings in the ground:

• Early-ripening varieties begin to be planted in the 1st decade of May, then - mid-ripening, and in the 2nd decade of May - medium-late.

Chinese cabbage

Planted in several terms, as seedling method, and planting seeds in open ground:

1. In the first decade of April, seeds are sown, and after 3 days the first sprouts appear. After 7 days, they can be dived into pots. In early May, 30 days after planting, in the three-leaf phase, Beijing cabbage seedlings are ready for planting in a permanent place.
2. At the end of summer chinese cabbage can be planted as a second crop on vacant plots. Seeds are soaked and sown in the month of July, then they dive and plant young plants in the garden in early August. If there is enough rain at the end of summer, you can expect a rich harvest 😉

Phew, as for the timing of planting cabbage, it seems that they figured it out. We hope the information was useful for you 😉 Successful sowing!
