The periods when it is necessary to plant seedlings of early cabbage
To get a good harvest, you need to know when to seed early cabbage for seedlings in 2019. So that in the second half of June it was already possible to collect cabbage, it is necessary to sow in the period from late February to early March.
However, few people will be able to create a suitable home environment for growing plants. The best atmosphere for seedlings can be obtained in late March, then at the end of June you can harvest.
For example, early Savoy cabbage of Czech selection called “Golden Early”, as well as “Petrovna”, growing in the middle lane, can yield 110 days after planting greenhouses in open ground. And Savoy cabbage “Moscow Lacemaker” needs a maximum of 95 days in the ground.
In order to calculate the period when it is possible to sow cabbage for seedlings in 2019 in the Moscow region and other regions, it is necessary to add to the above dates the time spent on germination of seeds and the development of seedlings before planting on the garden bed.
Depending on the geographical location, the timing varies.When sowing cabbage for seedlings in 2019 in the middle lane, in the Moscow region, the owners of the plots think at the end of winter.
Almost all types of cultivated plants sprout in this territory, including some varieties:
- Kohlrabi - sowing from March 15 to the first summer days.
- Brussels - sowing from March 20 to April 20.
- Savoy - early sowing - from March 15 to March 31; middle and late ripeness - from April 10 to May 5.
To adapt to the prevailing conditions, seedlings need 3-7 days.
Every experienced summer resident and land owner knows when it is not worth sowing cabbage for seedlings in 2019 in Siberia. These days include the phases of the New Moon or Full Moon and other adverse periods. When the moon is full or new in the sky, this is accompanied by the collection of plant sap in the upper part of the stem or vice versa in the root system. This arrangement impedes the development of culture and does not allow beneficial formation.
Landing of cabbage on the growing moon is accompanied by active plant growth. During this period, the culture seeks to grow significantly in height. On the Waning Moon, the root system of plants begins to form actively.
Drawing a conclusion, we can say that it is best to engage in planting crops at the time of the growth of the celestial luminary, and root crops are recommended to be planted with a Waning satellite.
Preparation of cabbage seedlings
Seeds of cultivated plants, including cabbage, should be treated with a special solution for diseases.
Before planting seedlings, it is necessary to loosen the earth and add nutrients. You can use store-bought natural ingredients or prepare the substrate yourself.
To make up the soil, you must mix the following:
- peat;
- garden land;
- humus;
- river sand.
All of the above is used in a ratio of 1: 2: 1: 1. A hot potassium permanganate solution is added to the prepared substance to get rid of infections.
Sowing seeds is necessary in a total capacity of 40x40 mm, or in dishes with delimited recesses. Plant the seed to a depth of about 5 mm.
If the air temperature rises to 22 degrees Celsius, the cabbage will rise in 5-7 days. After this, the greens must be placed under bright lighting in a room with an air temperature of no higher than 16-18 ° C. This is necessary to prevent stretching of the plant.
Watering seedlings must be carefully, but not often. Water should be at room temperature.
It is recommended to transplant at the moment when the plant has at least two pairs of leaves. Then you need to prepare separate containers, where to plant each stalk.
The lunar calendar advises diving cabbage on the following dates:

- in May - 8.05; May 15; 05/18.
During the period of growing cabbage, it is necessary to feed it twice.
When there are still leaves, it is necessary to add foliar nitrogen fertilizer, which is prepared by mixing a weak solution of mullein or urea solution (1 kg per 5 liters of water).
After replanting the plant, a mineral composition should be added, in which the main elements are phosphorus and potassium.
According to the lunar calendar, it is necessary to feed the culture in the following days:
- in April - 4.04; 6.04; April 9; in the period from April 18 to April 16; 04/27; 04/28.

Landing on a land plot of cabbage seedlings occurs in the evening or in cloudy weather. During the first days, the planted plant must be watered and irrigated with foliage. Adapt to the created conditions will help the culture formed moist air.
