In the ordinary diet of an ordinary person, such a vegetable as a cabbage is often found quite often. It is grown on the beds, household plots and groats. Cabbage is useful, and everything else, very tasty, so it is worth thinking about growing it yourself, if you do not yet. Let's take a look at how to put off cabbage to the seedlings and why it is in principle necessary.
Select variety
In order to get a truly rich harvest, it is necessary to deal with the process of planting, care and growing this culture. It is clear that everything begins with the selection of a variety, because it is an important factor for growing any culture:
- First, the gardener or the gardener must decide what he wants to get in the end, that is, for what you will use the cabbage and when you need to get it.
- From these criteria, in fact, the time of planting culture will depend on the receipt of seedlings. It should be understood that cabbage for frkic and long-term storage differs from varieties that are planted for use in the summer, adding to salads, etc.
- If we are talking about white cabbage, it is worth noting that there are varieties late and early. It should be taken into account that the early grade of such cabbage will not bring you a lot of harvest, usually these are small heads, and in small quantities.
- The ranges are perfectly suitable for long-term storage and for consumption in salads, so it is this variety that is the optimal option.
- Now, when you have decided on what kind of cabbage you need to cultivate seeds, you need to purchase landing material, and you need to do it correctly.
In this case, it is not worth saving, because it is necessary to acquire extremely high-quality seeds, and therefore, in any case there will be an order of magnitude more.
- If you do not know how to choose the choice of seeds to determine the seedlings, it is better to consult with specialists or experienced gardens, which in detail will tell you all about the right process of choosing the seeds you need.
Cooking the ground for planting seeds
When the seeds are already on hand, you need to take care of the soil in which you will plant them. It's not so easy here, as it may seem at first glance, because nutrient soil is necessary to obtain an excellent crop. The optimal option to prepare the Earth for planting cabbage seeds in the fall, but if you could not do this for any reason, then you can proceed to this process when you have such an opportunity:
- Humus need to mix with the turf soil
- There in this mixture add a small amount of ash (12 tablespoons for every 12 kg of land).
- Now all components are well mixed. It is very important to understand that the key to the success of planting seed is precisely a good soil.
- Experienced garders are also added peat instead of the turf soil, so have this fact in mind. Ultimately, you should get fertile, loose land.
It should be noted that for the "creation" of the soil for planting cabbage, it is impossible to use the land on which the cultures of the cruciferous type were previously grown.
Terms of sowing seeds
Some gardeners allow a mistake when they decide to plant cabbage in January. In fact, it is too early, but in May, closer to the end - it's too late, so have this fact in mind. In order to determine the sowing time of seeds, it is necessary to know and take into account the following information:
- If you have chosen to grow seedlings early varieties, then the optimal option is to start sowing at the end of March, in the twenties of its numbers.
- Seeds of medium grades can be planted in the ground from the end of March to the end of April.
- Late varieties are better to sow in the twenties of April.
- To know exactly when you land seeds, you can take into account the following calculation, which are used by experienced gardens:
- After you seize seeds, shoots will appear after 10-11 days
- It should be borne in mind that after shooting appearing above the Earth until the time of their landing in the open ground must go through at least 50 days, even can also 56.
- In the amount, we turn out that it is necessary to plant seeds in the greenhouses in 65 days until they landed them into open ground.
Preparatory training and sowing process
In order for you to get to grow really healthy and strong seedlings, it is necessary to know something about certain manipulations that will need to be done before seeded seeds:
- Even if you bought the wound processed seeds (this kind of information you can find on the package itself) Do not forget to warm them in warm water before planting (warm-up time will be about 20 minutes). After that, cool them, lowering or bay them with cold water.
- Not all seeds can be so "hardening", so you will find all the necessary information on this occasion on the back of the packaging or learn it from that who acquire these seeds.
The seeding process is as follows:
- If this early cabbage, then fall out in a special tray.
- Before you do, do not forget to pour the earth, it should be slightly moistened. Remember that after sowing seeds, it is impossible to water the Earth as long as shoots do not seem.
When shoots appear, wait another 14 days and start picking. - When sprouts are fixed, you can plant them already in the ground
The planting process of seeds to seedlings is not complicated, the main thing is to know all the nuances.
