What is lacking capricious cabbage and how to grow seedlings for everyone to envy

Since the beginning of March, early varieties of cabbage begin to be planted. April is a great time for medium and late varieties. The harvest depends on which seedlings you choose, when you plant it and how you care for it. Cabbage is a product that lies in the refrigerator of many housewives. Today we will tell you how to grow cabbage seedlings and what to look for when buying seeds.



Before you buy seeds, decide what you need cabbage for. One thing is early cabbage for fresh salads, another is fresh and sauerkraut, which will be stored for a long time. Early varieties of cabbage bring a small crop and the cocoons grow small. The medium-ripe variety is suitable for salt and summer dishes. Late varieties are best suited for long-term storage. Do not forget that the timing of seedlings depends on the variety.



The soil for cabbage seedlings is being prepared since autumn. Mix sod soil and humus in a ratio of 1: 1. Add wood ash to the soil in a 1:10 ratio. Such soil will prevent the appearance of a black leg on a cabbage seedling. Ash is a good antiseptic and a source of necessary trace elements for good growth of cabbage.



Before sowing cabbage seeds must be disinfected. To do this, the seeds are kept for several minutes in a solution of permanganate. Then the soil is treated: watered with a solution of permanganate or kept for several minutes in a heated oven. Pour the soil well with water before planting the seeds. When the first shoots appear, you need to thin them. The distance between the stems should be at least 2 cm.



Growing conditions Cabbage should be watered regularly. At the same time, you should not overdo it so that the cabbage leg does not begin to rot. Before irrigation, slightly float the ground under each noodle so that oxygen comes to the roots. Plant seedlings should be in a well-lit area.



For cabbage seedlings, it is important to observe the temperature regime in the range of 18-20 degrees during the day and 8-10 degrees at night. Two weeks before planting seedlings in the ground, accustom it to open space. Take the seedlings outside, but do not leave them under direct sunlight. So seedlings quickly adapt to the new environment and will grow well.



I hope you're already in full swing growing cabbage and cleaning up the beds. I wish you good spirits and energy to plant everything you want on the beds. May the harvest be great for the joy of the workers. Have a good day, buddy.
