A senior summer resident explained how to grow Peking cabbage right in the yard of his house

How to grow Peking cabbage without a garden? Can this be done right in the backyard of your home? The method offered by the TEO Garden channel is far from classical agricultural engineering. But it can be of interest to anyone who wants to provide the family with fresh vegetables and does not have a summer cottage.



Among all types of cabbage, Beijing is the juiciest. From a fiber-rich vegetable, the most delicate salads are obtained. But yours is always better than buying. We will tell you how to grow petsai with your own hands.



If you live in the middle of Russia, sow seeds for seedlings in early April. To do this, you will need seeds, a plastic form (you can replace the tray for eggs) and loose soil. With moderate watering and a temperature of about 15 degrees, the sprouts will appear in 5 days.



When 3-4 leaves appear on them, seedlings can be planted in the ground. But, since we do not have a garden, we need to prepare a suitable container. The man in the video uses plastic bottles of 20 liters, or rather their halves.



Cut the bottle in two with a hacksaw. Make a hot nail or soldering iron drainage holes in the lower part. Fill the container with earth and carefully transplant seedlings into it.



With regular watering, after 20 days, the edges of the leaves will stretch to the edges of the cans. To feed the plants, you can use an infusion of dandelions, nettles and other weeds. How to prepare such a liquid fertilizer, we wrote in one of the articles.



After 40 days, a lush socket of glossy salad leaves is formed. So that the bushes do not interfere with each other, the banks will have to be slightly pushed apart.



After about 2 months, you can trim the hard lower leaves. They are not suitable for food, in addition, they take nutrients from the kochan.



When all the leaves close at the top and the head becomes dense, you can harvest. The weight of the average coach usually reaches a kilogram. Peking cabbage is stored for no more than 3 months. Therefore, it is better to eat it while it is juicy, tasty and most useful. More information about the original method of growing cabbage can be found here. A generous harvest and a pleasant appetite!

Vegetables can also be grown on the balcony. For example, crispy cucumbers, without which no feast can do. In addition, if you choose the right variety and competently create conditions, care will take a minimum of your precious time.
