One of the healthiest vegetables is cabbage. This vegetable is very versatile in its use. In winter, late varieties of cabbage are actively used.
Late varieties of cabbage are not afraid of autumn frosts
Features of late cabbage
Late white cabbage species are endowed with the following qualities:
- yield rate;
- ability to preserve (up to 9 months);
- the possibility of mechanized harvesting;
- use for fermentation;
- breeding for resistance to diseases, pests.
The ripening period of late cabbage from sowing the seed to harvesting takes 190 days. But such varieties are not afraid of autumn frosts. Under these conditions, late cabbage heads form faster. Such cabbage is afraid of frost in the spring, so they must be grown in seedlings.
Depending on the region, the process of sowing the seed takes place at different times.
It is important to disinfect the seed before sowing.
What are the best varieties of late cabbage
The best cabbage varieties are those that keep well. These vegetables can be stored until mid-spring. But there are varieties that can be preserved until the new cabbage is harvested. It is important that the density of the vegetable and the flavoring properties hardly change.
It is believed that hybrid species are best suited for long-term storage.
Aggressor is a popular hybrid variety
Aggressor
It is a late hybrid variety of white cabbage. A very popular Dutch species grown in all regions of our country. Slow ripening of the fruit forms the firmness of the head of cabbage.

For salting and long-term storage until spring, winter (or late-ripening) varieties of cabbage are most suitable. It is them that summer residents prefer to grow in order to prepare enough of this useful vegetable for the winter to feed the whole family.
Growing white cabbage
Description of late cabbage
Many late varieties have been bred. They differ mainly in the duration of ripening. While early varieties take three months from germination to fully ripen, mid-season varieties may take four months, then some varieties of late cabbage mature only six months after the start of growth from seeds.
Description of late cabbage
This long wait is rewarded:
- equally long shelf life;
- high yield of varieties;
- excellent transportability of heads of cabbage;
- readiness to preserve all valuable substances, taste and textural properties during salting, pickling and fermentation.
By the way! Varieties intended for long-term storage improve their palatability over time. In addition, in cabbage, unlike other vegetables and root crops, nitrates do not accumulate during the time it is stored.
Cabbage
The second difference between different types of cabbage ripening in terms of maturation is agricultural technology. In general terms, it is similar not only for all cabbages, but also for many crucifers. But the timing of sowing, germination, planting and some growth conditions differ in detail in late cabbage from its mid-season and early-maturing "relatives".
By the way! Some varieties of late-ripening cabbage can stay intact, under appropriate conditions, until the next harvest.
Growing features
Growing cabbage in a greenhouse
In different regions, depending on the climate, the seeds of late cabbage varieties are planted at different times. But always, in all climatic zones, this is a seedling method of growing. For late varieties, seedlings are grown at home (in extreme cases, in a heated greenhouse or greenhouse). In the southern regions, it is possible to sow seeds on a special seedling bed under a film cover.
Stimulation and disinfection of seeds
Seeds
Before sowing late cabbage seeds, they need to be disinfected. Soaking in hot water is sufficient for disinfection. The temperature should not be higher than + 45 ° С. It is necessary to keep cabbage seeds in water for a quarter of an hour, placing them first in a rag bag.
Disinfection of seeds
How to keep the required temperature in the container for a certain time?
- Put a dish of water on the heater (after checking the temperature of its heating in advance for half an hour).
- Put the container in another container, pouring water into it, ten degrees hotter (a kind of water bath, just not on fire).
- Disinfect seeds in a multicooker on the "Yogurt" mode.
Important! The heating procedure will not only destroy the microbes that may be inside the seed, but will also contribute to the speedy germination by activating the growth point of the embryo.
Disinfection of seeds with potassium permanganate
After disinfection by heating, the seeds must be quickly cooled by lowering them for one minute under cold running water.
Soaking the seeds in a fertilizer solution will help accelerate germination and make the seedlings even more uniform. It can be any mineral complex. It is best to take a regular nitrophosphate. The proportions for the preparation of the solution are 5 g of granules per 500 ml of water. Room temperature water. Dissolve thoroughly. Keep seeds for 12 hours.
Preparation of seedling containers and soil
Cabbage dives well, so it can be grown initially in any convenient or available containers. If pots are available, use pots. There are boxes, sow in boxes.
Peat seedling pots
It is more convenient to plant cabbage on a ridge or in a greenhouse from individual pots with a diameter of about 8 cm. By the time they move to the garden, the seedlings should have four adult leaves.
The soil for sowing cabbage does not need heavy. Peat is traditionally used. If possible, part of the humus is mixed with part of the sod land, sand can not be added. Both peat and mixed substrate must be seasoned with wood ash. About a tablespoon is used per liter of substrate. The ash is sieved before this. Then it is thoroughly mixed with the soil.
Soil for cabbage seedlings
If you have not steamed the soil mixture, then be sure to spill it with Trichophyte solution or pink potassium permanganate solution
Sowing
You can sow late cabbage seeds at the end of February. It can take up to 60 days before planting seedlings in the garden. The latest sowing dates for late varieties are mid-March. Sowing later in the middle lane is impractical, the heads will not have time to ripen.
Advice! If you are late with sowing late-ripening varieties, sow mid-ripening ones. Some mid-season varieties, for example, "Gift", are stored for up to four months, have good data for canning and can be used fresh.
Spread the seeds
Add seeds
Sowing takes place in shallow grooves, about 2 cm deep. The distance between the crops in the box is 5 cm.When two full-fledged leaves appear, the seedlings will have to be thinned so that the distance between the seedlings is at least 5 cm.If you are sowing in a pot, place 3-4 seeds at the corners of an imaginary square, on top of the soil. Fill on top with a two centimeter layer of peat. Crops are watered and covered with foil.
Place the bowl in a plastic bag and keep the sowing until germination at a temperature of about 20 ° C
After germination, which appears on the 5-7th day, the film is removed immediately and is no longer used.
Watering cabbage seedlings
Preparing the cabbage bed
Preparing the cabbage bed
Late varieties need a lot of sunlight, heat and moisture for the heads of cabbage to mature fully. Only finally ripe heads of cabbage can be stored all winter until summer. Therefore, the landing site is chosen open. The soil is fertilized with organic matter in the fall. Cabbage loves organic fertilizers - this is the best fertilizing option for this plant. Late cabbage especially needs fertilization of the soil. Up to 7 kg of rotted organic matter is used per 1 m². Can be fertilized with plant compost. But animal organic matter in addition, in the form of a solution, should be used for pre-plant feeding and for periodic feeding, of which at least three are carried out during the growing season.
Transfer
Seedling cabbage
At the end of April, holes are dug in a dug ridge according to the number of seedlings. Seedlings move into moist soil, with a moist clod, do not deepen. Watering is necessary abundant. The first feeding is carried out on the twentieth day after planting.
