Growing cabbage without seedlings
You can get a good harvest of cabbage, even ifyou did not have time to plant it for seedlings. Young plants, grown up to a certain time at home, do not take root well, so they are immediately caught in the open ground by their growth and development.
Depending on the region, the planting time in openSoils are different, so be guided solely by the weather. As soon as there is a positive temperature on the street, and the threat of nocturnal frosts will be ruled out, start sowing cabbage in the holes prepared since autumn. Do not forget that the soil should be fertilized, for example, with urea, superphosphate or other organic fertilizer.
Before sowing, dry seeds must be immersed in hot water (50 ° C) for five minutes. After 1 minute in a cold. To facilitate the seeding process, lightly dry the seeds by spreading them on the gauze.
If you have loose soil, put on the bottom of the holepaper napkins - they will prevent the deepening of seeds after watering, which will shorten the time of cabbage seedling. Note that it is undesirable to sow deeper than 1 cm.
After sowing cabbage in the open ground, poursoil, wells cover with cellophane film. Expect sprouting in three days. It is not necessary to open the plantations at this time, but if there is a very hot weather, raise one edge of the film during the day, and cover it in the evening.
After emergence of cabbage, you should carry out additional fertilizing. Use any complex fertilizer in strict accordance with the instructions. After that, you will notice how the plants will quickly grow and catch up with those grown with seedlings.
