Even in Ancient Rus, cabbage and other crops are notrecommended to put in the "male" days - Monday, Thursday or Tuesday. Such dates were considered infertile. Experienced horticulturists noticed that if this rule was not observed, the cabbage did not have a good growth, it was often destroyed by pests and diseases.

2

Among the "male" days there are some exceptions. For example, clear days for planting cabbage are considered pure Thursday and the first Monday after Easter. The ideal day for this culture is Saturday.

3

Traditionally, cabbage seeds are being prepared forsowing in early March or early May. If cabbage of early varieties, the seeds sow in early March, and in the open ground seedlings are planted in late March or early April. It is absolutely necessary to use a greenhouse or a greenhouse. If cabbage of late varieties, then the date data is transferred to May. At the beginning of the month, cabbage is sown, and planted near the end of May.

4

According to the Lunar calendar, it is not recommended to plant cabbage with the growing Moon, during the new moon and full moon. The decreasing Moon is an ideal period for sowing seeds.

5

Note that the Lunar Calendar neveris not permanent. If you are interested in the rules of planting and sowing cabbage in accordance with these rules, it is better to purchase a special schedule in advance for the current year. Astrologers argue that the growth of seedlings and the quality of the future harvest are directly affected by the phases of the moon.

6

If you do not trust the Lunar calendar and do not trustare too inclined to adhere to people's perceptions, the main thing that should be paid attention when planting cabbage is favorable weather conditions. In order for the seedlings to grow well and be strong, she needs a full-day light day lasting at least 13 hours. Usually such days come in April-May. Rarely such conditions can be observed already in March.

7

Minimum mark of air temperature for growthcabbage in the open ground - 13 degrees. Otherwise the seedlings will die, and you will not be able to bring it back to life. If the weather conditions are unstable, then cabbage planting is better to be carried on the May days. Seeding is best done in late March or early April.

By the time you plant cabbage in the open ground, it should be this:

- early cabbage - 12-20 cm in height, with five or seven real leaves.

- medium and late cabbage - 15-20 cm in height, with four to six leaves.

The landing should be carried out to the depth to the firstfrom the real leaves, that is, the third one, if you count two cotyledons. When landing, it is necessary to make sure that the point of growth of the plant, that is, the last young leaves, is not overwhelmed by the earth.

The approximate scheme of planting is 70X30 cm or 50X50 cm. Too much planting should not be done - the cabbage will have large plants, and they will need a lot of space on the ground, like light.

Plant the plant better in the afternoon or in cloudy weather. When planting cabbage must be watered.

Some varieties of cabbage can be grown andin a nondestructive way, if the soils are well-cleared of weeds, precipitation falls regularly, and the climate is favorable. Sowing of plant seeds can be done directly into the soil, the depth is preferably 1.5-3 cm.

Timing for sowing should be selected early -Such cabbage is not afraid of frost. After the emergence of the shoots, it is necessary to thin the plants to a predetermined density of standing (between plants in a row should be approximately 40 cm). Care for such plants should be carried out the same as usual.

1

First of all, one must take into account that plantingcabbage in one place more than once every three years should not be. Otherwise, pests are planted in the soil, from which it is then practically impossible to get rid of.

2

Planting cabbage in open ground conditions, havein view of the fact that it is a very hygrophilous plant with a fairly long root system capable of extracting moisture from a fairly large depth, loving a dense soil. Therefore, the soil for planting it is better to prepare in advance, even in autumn. The earth must be thoroughly digged, cleaned of weeds and sprinkled with fertilizers.

3

If you did not prepare the soil in advancethen at least a month before planting a dig, lightly ground the soil and leave before landing, so that the earth will compact itself. When preparing the site for planting cabbage, the land should be well fertilized - 10 kilograms of humus and 3 spoons of mineral fertilizers are applied per square meter of the earth. Also, cabbage does not like acidic soils, so on acidic soils every two years when digging, you need to make lime, at a rate of 100-150 grams per square meter.

Most often cabbage is planted in seedlings. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of planting seeds for seedlings in advance. To do this, you can plant the seeds in the prepared soil one by one into small, better peat, pots, or all at once into one large box. Further care will be in timely watering. When planting seedlings in the open ground, one should try to injure the root system as little as possible, leaving a rather large earthen lump on the roots. This is necessary so that they are not damaged, because Closed roots are more protected from the danger of attacking diseases and pests, and are much less prone to overdrying.

5

If you intend to buy ready-made seedlings, thenchoose strong, stocky plant with a thick stem and a holistic root system, preferably with five good leaves. Do not buy plants with a thin dark stalk, most likely they are infected with a black stalk. Dents and sores on the roots indicate the defeat of seedlings with cabbage whale.

6

Start planting cabbage better in overcastday or, if the weather is sunny, in the evening hours. So the seedlings will not wither, but its roots will not dry out. Plant seedlings in even strips, the distance between which should be at least 30 centimeters. Between the plants themselves should be about 25 centimeters. Deepen the plants to the first leaves, and it is desirable not to dig it into the ground, and sprinkled on top, carefully pressing the root system. Then planted seedlings should be well watered. Further care for cabbage is a regular abundant watering, fertilization and protection from pests.

That the harvest was good, the seeds should be properlytreat before planting in the ground. It is not superfluous to conduct hardening procedures, and also to process seeds with preparations that will help to accelerate germination. It is possible and in the store to purchase seeds that have already been processed.

Prepare the soil - it must consist of equalsportions of peat, humus, turf ground, sometimes add a little river sand and sawdust. Experienced truck farmers store the soil from autumn and freeze in winter. Then you need to steal it to destroy viruses and bacteria. To prevent seedling diseases, pour the soil with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. The soil bought in the store is useful for steaming in a water bath (for this you can not use a microwave or oven), and also pour potassium permanganate or any of the disinfectants that are on sale.

You can grow seedlings in plastic containerslike glasses from under yogurt, mayonnaise, but it is better to use peat cups. The selected containers fill with soil and sow in each of several pieces of seeds to a depth of one centimeter. All pour, put in heat, you can pull up the spilling plastic bag. In a few days there will be shoots - then polyethylene should be removed. Growing seedlings move to a lighter place, so that the stems do not grow elongated.

Water the seedlings in a timely manner. When the first real leaves appear, plant the plants in separate pots. If, nevertheless, it was not possible to save the seedlings from diseases, the plants, on which signs of damage are seen (a thin or dark stalk, black spots on it) should be thrown out immediately, and the remaining ones should be poured with a solution of potassium permanganate in a dark pink color. Place the surviving seedlings in a colder place. The temperature should not be negative, but the colder the better. Irrigation should be stopped for a while.

The timely measures taken often helpstop further spread of the disease, and after a while the plants can be returned to heat. In the garden, seedlings are planted at about the age of 2 months.

The exact date when you can plant cabbage insoil, no, everything depends on the weather conditions and the variety of cabbage, whether the seedlings are hardened or not. For example, unsweetened cabbage grows well at a temperature of 15 degrees in the daytime and at least 7-8 degrees in the night. Hardened seedlings can withstand a lower temperature, down to minus. As for the variety, the early cabbage can be transplanted into the ground already in mid-May, the mid-ripening - at the end of May, the late-ripe cabbage - in early June.

Preparation of cabbage seedlings for planting

Before you plant cabbage in the ground, youit is necessary to prepare the plants. To do this, daily plant seedlings on the balcony, the first days to withstand the plants for two or three hours, then gradually increase the time by two hours. In order to grow plants, sprinkle their leaves two weeks before landing urea solution, a week before planting stop watering the seedlings, and a couple of hours before changing their "place of residence" abundantly pour. If you have few seedlings, then when transplanting, treat each spine root with a biostimulator. Remember that the cabbage is ready for planting after 1.5 months after the seeds germinate.

How to plant cabbage seedlings in the ground

For seeding of seedlings, select overcast not particularlya hot day (or evening), in the garden make holes at a distance of 50 centimeters from each other, then in each hole, plant two or three bushes of seedlings, placing plants in the ground to the very leaves. Well tamp the soil around the seedlings, pour. After transplanting, every evening after sunset, sprinkle cabbage with warm water, and in the morning hours cover seedlings from sunlight (do this for at least a week). After the specified time, remove the weakest plants, leaving in the hole one healthy bush.
