CABBAGE AND COLD HEAD

Whatever you say, cabbage is a lady. Yes, yes, yes, lady! Love for this vegetable is hard to overestimate. What can we not cook from it - cabbage soup, borscht, pies, bigus, salads, snacks ... But can you list everything? But bad luck - she does not love me. Rather, I didn’t love: I am kind to her, but she doesn’t. But time passed, and I found a key to her, now she listens to me, and I help her, rejoice at her beautiful heads of cabbage, and only they grow a decent size - 8-10 kilograms!

To grow seedlings of cabbage in an apartment is not very promising. The house is dry, hot, and she loves coolness, high humidity. Therefore, I sow it in the greenhouse, but first you need to work with the seeds. So that the cabbage grows well and does not hurt, hold the seeds for an hour in a pulp - garlic diluted with water 1: 3.

I like these varieties: mid-season - Glory, late - Megaton, the Cyclops. I take a box, fill it with soil mixture: purchased land, sand, peat, 1 liter of ash or a little less. It is necessary to mix everything thoroughly, fill the drawers with this mixture, compact a little, make grooves 2 cm deep, pour with a weak hot solution of potassium permanganate and - attention! - sow the seeds every 3 cm. Do not thicken the planting, because of this, the submucosal elbow may be extended. Seedlings are crowded, and it begins to stretch.

Growing cabbage / When planted, how to feed, how to prepare the soil before planting

I start sowing around the 20th of April - this is in Siberia, but in warm regions it is possible earlier. I cover the boxes with covering material, and on top of the film. And here is the important thing:

As soon as the seedlings appear, I transfer the boxes from the carbonate greenhouse to the film - it is cooler there, but at night I cover it with covering material.

Regularly water, but do not fill. As soon as 2-3 real leaves appeared, I transplanted it from the drawers into the ground - into a film greenhouse, planted along the edge of the beds. Here is her will! Immediately rushes to the growth - seedlings are a feast for the eyes. When 4-5 true leaves appeared on it, it was time to transplant into open ground (approximately in the last decade of May). You say seedlings have already outgrown? No. It is very well developed, the root system is strong.

I make holes 60 × 60 cm deep, one and a half bayonet shovels, add humus, 2 tbsp. l ash, 1 tbsp. l superphosphate, mix everything thoroughly, dilute according to the instructions with a biological product, water the hole plentifully and plant seedlings. Remember: this should be done in the late afternoon and in cloudy weather. I plant deep, to the first two real leaves.

As soon as a new leaf appeared, the seedlings took root. Top dressing should be done every week, but only the next day after watering. For example: today they poured it - tomorrow we will feed. You can feed nettle infusion (1: 5), bird droppings (1:20) - this is generally the most effective means. When 6-8 leaves are formed, feed the sheet with fertilizer with zircon. 1-2 times a week I spud cabbage. When the heads are tied, I pour it over the head with cold water — she loves it.

Do not miss the “cabbage” on August 1!

As soon as the butterfly moth flashed, take urgent measures to protect your cabbage. There was a wonderful article, I learned a lot from it, I don’t remember whose, but thank you so much for effective advice: pull a wire along a row of cabbage and hang CDs along the entire length.

I was simply amazed to see how they work: they spin under the influence of the breeze, sparkle, scattering the glare of light - butterflies are in dismay, and do not fly close to the cabbage.

And what am I doing - I don’t throw out the grass that remains after preparing the herbal infusions, but take it out of the tank and lay it around the cabbage without touching the stem. Yes, the stench is unimaginable, but not a single midge and flea starts up, and slugs generally go off the drain!

It is very useful to powder the cabbage with ashes after each watering. And here in Siberia we are doing the following: so that the cabbages are elastic, juicy, August 7 cabbage is poured with soda solution (1 a pack of soda on 200 l of water).

On the healing properties of cabbage can be a long talk. For example, raw cabbage leaves well relieves headaches. Cobs and roots are used as an antitumor agent, and cabbage juice relieves toothache in its pure form. For fresh cabbage juice, skip the cabbage leaf twice through a meat grinder (if there is no juicer). Then you need to squeeze the juice through cheesecloth.
