Author: Natalya Baskova
White cabbage is a cold-resistant leafy vegetable culture with a two-year cycle. How to choose a good cabbage seeds, and will be discussed in our review.
Due to the low heat resistance and insufficient drought resistance, white cabbage is not widely distributed in the south, but it feels great in the Middle zone. In the southern regions, it is recommended to grow early cabbage hybrids, mild winters allow podzymny seeding.
In terms of ripening varieties and hybrids of white cabbage are divided into 4 groups:
- Ultra Early - tying heads, suitable for cutting, 55 - 60 days after transplanting or 90 - 95 days after germination; differ in tenderness of leaves; head of cabbage loose and lightweight, salad destination; suitable for greenhouse cultivation.
- Early maturing - technical ripeness occurs in 100 - 120 days after germination; heads of cabbage are friable, used for fresh consumption.
- Mid-season - form a head in 85–120 days after planting seedlings for a permanent place; heads of cabbage are suitable for storage within 3 to 4 months after cutting; high sugar content makes them suitable for pickling.
- Late-ripening - it takes 140 - 180 days to form a tight and large head; the main purpose is winter storage up to a new crop of early varieties; they are distinguished by the largest size and weight of the head of cabbage; they are superior in juiciness and content of vitamins.
White cabbage has been cultivated since the inception of vegetable production, its nutritional value and healing properties were known in the Ancient World. Proper selection of varieties of different ripening periods will provide the family with the necessary vitamins for the whole year.

We grow cabbage for several years and are satisfied so far. Small forks, stored perfectly until spring, tight as oak. No hassle with her, and the harvest always pleases. |
In the middle zone, white cabbage is grown by rassadny way. Seedlings of early varieties are planted in the ground at 45 - 60 days of age, late - in 35-40 days. The best results can be obtained when sown in peat pots or cassettes when kept in a film greenhouse, where the seedlings receive enough sunlight and are hardened at low positive temperatures.
According to summer residents, the cultivation of cabbage seedlings on the balcony requires experience and even luck. More reliably, if there is no film greenhouse, sow the seeds a little later in the greenhouse.
Have a good harvest!
