If you are struggling with what vegetable seeds to choose for your beautiful garden this winter, why not try growing cabbage yourself with leaves curled up in love ?!
Growing cabbage is as easy as growing some other vegetables, but if you know it properly, you can absolutely grow good cabbage for your large garden.
Cabbage is a plant with a high leaf area index and a very large water use ratio, but thanks to its developed cluster roots, it is more resistant to drought and water than that of kohlrabi and cauliflower.
Originating in the Mediterranean region, cabbage belongs to the group of plants that prefer long day light but with low light intensity. Therefore, in the winter-spring season of our country, cabbage plants often shorten the growing time.
1. Prepare
- Seeds: Choose to buy cabbage seeds from reputable stores with large round seeds for a high germination rate, or you can choose to buy sturdy seedlings.
Cabbage land needs to be porous and contain many nutrients
- Optional foam pots or barrels
2. Proceed to plant
Nursing seeds: Put the soil in a pot or foam bin, or you can sow seeds in a seed tray. Then spread the prepared seeds on the ground, then cover the seeds with your hands. During this time, you should pay attention to regularly water the plants, about 8-10 days later, the seeds will germinate on their own.
Cabbage seeds germinate best at 18-20 degrees Celsius. Plants grow best at 15-18 degrees Celsius. One week after sowing, the plant is 5cm tall with two beautiful sprouts.
After 2-3 weeks, seedlings begin to produce true leaves, when plants have 4-6 real leaves, skillfully beat the plants from the seedling tray to plant in pots or foam boxes. Note: should choose healthy, plump, sturdy seedlings for the best quality.
In particular, before putting the seedlings into the new soil environment, you should prepare the soil for planting. Prime them with less organic fertilizer to make the healthy seedlings grow faster.
After planting, water well. Use a watering can or hose to water the plant regularly (except on a rainy day) until it turns green. During warm weather, plants may need more water. After that, it can be watered every 5-7 days. Can be combined with top dressing with water or soluble nitrogen fertilizer.
It is best to plant the plant in full sunlight, but even in less sunny conditions, cabbage can still grow. The depth of the plant in the soil is on par with the outermost leaf layer.
After 40-50 days of age, the cabbage tree will reach a height of about 20cm, this is the time when the plant needs to water and clear the surrounding weeds. You should mulch the plants to maintain moisture as well but make sure the weeds cannot take over your cabbage by using straw or twigs to cover the surrounding area.
From day 45-50, plants start rolling corn, the rest is to provide enough water for plants to grow and wait until harvest date. Note that you should cut off parts of the old leaves that have discolored below.
Prevention: In the stage of leafy cabbage rolls, there are often many pests and diseases, you should use biological insecticides to kill them.
3. Harvest and preserve
When cabbage is planted for about 80-90 days, cabbage rolls firmly, is also the time for you not only to grow cabbage but also to harvest the results yourself. They should be harvested early in the morning or late in the evening.
You should chop high, close to the body of the corn to easily collect and handle the cabbage. Remove outer leaves, green leaves on corn, wash thoroughly with clean water, drain. After harvesting, with careful storage, you can keep them fresh for about 2 weeks. Growing cabbage by hand is difficult but extremely easy, isn't it?
