Cabbage is a real vitamin bomb. It contains folic acid, iron, calcium, potassium and vitamins A, B, C, E and K. Due to the length of the growing season, several varieties can be distinguished: early, medium early, medium late and late. The vegetable does not have any special requirements, which is why it is so popular in our gardens. If you take care of them properly, they will reward you with nice heads.
When to plant cabbage in the ground? It all depends on the variety
White cabbage is a biennial plant. In the first year, it forms a head with large, curled, green leaves. In the second stage, it produces seed shoots and bears fruit. The vegetable has a very developed root system that reaches a depth of 1.5 m. It is grown from seedlings, which are previously prepared in a well-lit room.
Early varieties of cabbage are most often found because they are best for preparing salads and soups. They are planted in the ground in the first half of April at a spacing of 40×40 cm or 50×40 cm. Medium-early varieties are planted in May at 50×40 cm spacing, and medium-late and late varieties from mid-May to mid-June at 60×60 cm spacing.

Natural fertilization of cabbage. Make homemade conditioner from these plants
Seeds of early cabbage varieties are sown in January and February, medium-early ones in March, and late ones in April. Production takes about 2 months. The crops are harvested from June until the end of October. Cut off the heads only when they are hard and properly formed. The soil in which you plant the vegetable should be rich in boron, nitrogen and molybdenum. Due to a deficiency of these ingredients, the leaves may become yellow, brittle and stiff. In addition, it is worth supporting with regular fertilization. Manure made from nettle, horsetail or elderberry will work very well. It contains potassium, phosphorus, iron and nitrogen, which cabbage needs very much. If you feel like it, vote in our poll below.
