A little about cauliflower

This type of plant belongs to annual plants and takes 2nd place. In the first place, you probably already guessed it, there is a white cabbage variety. For eating, they usually take a white head. It is low in fiber and has the properties found in diets. Cauliflower in the garden is a cold-resistant vegetable. If the seedlings of cabbage are already adult, then they will not last long when the temperature drops to five degrees.

To get seedlings of this plant early, it is necessary to grow it in pots made of peat, or in paper glasses or in used milk bags. The seeds are sown about two or three centimeters deep. It is necessary to care for seedlings in the same way as for white cabbage.

Cabbage seeds are sown around the last month of winter. It is necessary to plant on open soil only after two months, around the month of May. The germination period before harvesting is up to one hundred and ten days.

In order to get the heads in the twenties of July or at the beginning of August, it is necessary to plant cabbage at different times with a gap of about ten days. In order to get a harvest of cabbage in the fall, plant the seedlings in open soil in the middle of summer, when it will be about forty days old.

You can also get this culture in winter, for this you need to place it in the basement in the fall or at the beginning of winter and grow it there. It is dug out of the ground from an open place with an earthen lump and buried in moist soil until leaves, the temperature regime should be from one to plus four degrees.

In the growing method, it does not need light, because the base of the plant grows by consuming nutrients that are deposited in the stem and leaves. The most important thing is to maintain the soil where the cauliflower grows in a state of moisture and ventilation. This procedure usually lasts up to a maximum of three months.

Cauliflower in the garden only grows on soils with high yields. Cabbage does not tolerate large temperature changes and suffers greatly from lowering the level of the thermometer.

If the summer is very hot and it has little water, then it will have small coarse leaves and very poorly developed heads. This crop can grow in a greenhouse, greenhouse or under a film and just on open ground. The main condition for the growth of a plant is a large amount of light on the plant.

In order for your future harvest to be large and happy, it is necessary for her to create all good conditions for further development. The head of this plant is formed after the leaves are developed, and their growth on each other does not go evenly. This crop must be grown on fertilized soils. Cabbage will yield a good harvest if it is loosened frequently between rows.

If the soil is filled with fertilizers and warms up in the sun, and there is also protection from the winds, then these will be good conditions for further growth. Organic fertilizers are not applied for this plant.

Usually it is placed in those places under which there was already fertilization. These are the places of legumes, cucumbers, tomatoes, early potatoes and onions. Cabbage is returned to its old place, only after a maximum of four years.

In no case do not plant cabbage seedlings in the place where other varieties of cabbage grew, because it can take diseases of old plants that grew in that place. Choose the warmest spot in your garden before planting. Make the beds on the south side.

It is usually planted thickly.When the planting is more compacted to each other, it creates a microclimate of the surface layer and thus the leaves of neighboring fruits create a shadow on the soil surface and thus retain moisture. Weeds will no longer be able to grow there.

Cabbage bushes are usually planted in a checkerboard pattern. Seedlings must be planted in the soil when they have 4-6 leaves in cloudy weather, plant in the sun in the afternoon.

In order for the seedlings to take root well in a new place, do not allow it to wither and dry out the roots. Before planting, pour the prepared holes with water up to one liter per hole and immediately plant the seedlings a little deeper than they grew in your greenhouse or greenhouse.

The stalk of the cabbage must be completely covered with earth until the first true leaves, and the roots must go deep into the hole and be tightly crushed by the earth. If the ground is not crushed, then the roots can be in limbo and in this form it can quickly die.

After all the seedlings have been planted, sprinkle on top with dry soil with peat or humus, this will reduce the evaporation of moisture from the soil.
