Early cabbage is the best variety

The vegetable is not difficult to grow. Compliance with just a few rules of planting and care will provide the summer resident with a cabbage harvest sufficient for the family. One of the components of the harvest is the correct choice of the variety.

Early cabbage: the best varieties

It is recommended to choose a suitable variety for planting according to the following criteria.

1. The number of warm, sunny days (the duration of the actual, not calendar summer in your area).
2. Conditions for using the future harvest (fresh, for conservation, for long-term storage).
3. The volume of the planned harvest.

Choosing early cabbage varieties

The first criterion is important because different varieties of cabbage require different ripening times. The choice of the optimal ripening period, as well as the planting method (seedling or seedling), depends on the length of summer.

The second criterion is taken into account when the intended use of the crop is assumed - harvesting for the winter and storage until spring, salting or pickling, fresh use during the summer, for salads and first courses.

The third criterion directly depends on the variety. The most productive varieties are winter, subject to a sufficient number of warm days and complete maturation of the heads.

Characteristics

1. The ripening range is from 70 to 120 days, counting from germination.
   Application, mainly of current seasonal cooking (fresh salads, hodgepodge, cabbage rolls, soups, raw and cooked side dishes and main dishes). Early ripe cabbage can be fermented, but it will not be stored for a long time - it will become soft and lose its "crunch".
2. It is not suitable for winter storage.
3. Small heads of cabbage should be removed at an early stage of ripening, when overripe they crack.
4. The yield of early maturing cabbage is low.

Features of early cabbage

Early cabbage has a peculiarity. Unlike the later varieties, the early varieties have a much narrower range of flavors. Among hundreds of varieties, taste, juiciness, crunchiness and other parameters can only be distinguished from one another by a specialist. Not being a "cabbage sommelier", summer residents nevertheless selected the most popular varieties among the early ones and successfully grow them on the plots.

   Harvesting

Growing algorithm

1. It is most likely to grow seedlings first. This can be done both at home and in greenhouse conditions. The seeds are purchased of high quality, in accordance with the choice of the variety. It is better to buy from trusted producers and not experiment, at least on the entire crop. Check the packaging date and shelf life on the packaging.
2. Soil preparation consists in mixing turfy soil and humus in equal proportions with wood ash (10% of the mass of the substrate). You can use peat. The main thing is that it is not sour and moderately loose.

   Soil preparation

   Important! In no case do not use the land from the garden taken in the garden where any cruciferous crops used to grow.

3. When to sow seeds? Approximate agrotechnical terms are from the end of February to the end of March. But this range is too blurry. It is easier to get attached to planting, which in ultra-early cold-resistant varieties can occur at the end of April, and in medium-cold-resistant varieties - in mid-May. Seed germination period is 7-10 days. From germination to disembarkation of seedlings - about 50 days. Based on this, it is easy to calculate the sowing time.

   Sowing cabbage for seedlings

4. Before planting, the seedlings should have four full-fledged true leaves. The planting pattern is usually 40x60 cm. It is not necessary to close the stem deeply. Hilling is also done later, during the formation of the outer stump.

   Planting cabbage

5. When planting seedlings, the soil on the ridge or in the greenhouse is fertilized. Further, fertilizers are applied at intervals of once a month. Better if it is an organic solution.
6. Measures for the prevention of pests and diseases are important. Cabbage has a lot of them.Therefore, it is especially necessary to observe agricultural technology and crop rotation especially carefully. Along the perimeter of cabbage beds, you can plant onions, garlic or flowers (nasturtium, marigolds) to scare off pests.

This article discusses the best varieties of early cabbage of various varieties with a photo: white cabbage, red cabbage, savoy, colored, broccoli, kohlrabi and others. Which varieties of early white cabbage are suitable for different regions.

Early ripening cabbage is one of the most popular vegetables. Early varieties of cabbage are saturated with vitamins (especially C, B 9, K, U), mineral elements, carbohydrates, biologically active substances.

It is not recommended to apply a large amount of nitrogen fertilizers for this crop, since there is a danger of excessive accumulation of nitrates. The restrictions also apply to chemical pesticides.

When planning planting, it must be borne in mind that the harvest of early cabbage needs to be quickly consumed and processed. An accurate calculation of the number of plants and the timing of harvesting is important.

Overview of early varieties of cabbage

In the group of early ripening vegetables, there is a rapid renewal of the assortment, especially in recent years.

Interesting educational film about early cabbage

Big harvests for you!

Early cabbage is distinguished by its positive and negative qualities. Its main advantage is its short ripening period. But at the same time, almost any of the varieties has its own characteristics in cultivation.

What white cabbage is called early

It should include rapidly ripening varieties that are resistant to cold weather, cracking. But it must be remembered that for a long time this vegetable not stored, at the output from it we get small heads of cabbage... In a word, you can not count on big harvests, but you will always be able to please yourself with the first cabbage.

If there is a desire to get the earliest good harvest, which is harvested in the first days of June, it is necessary to use greenhouses for the cultivation of cabbage. In this case, sowing seeds for seedlings is carried out at the end of winter. A prerequisite for the growth of seedlings is the presence of artificial lighting.

Transplanting seedlings into the greenhouse should be done in April, as soon as the sprouts form the first leaves.

It is recommended to organize greenhouses for growing early cabbage.

The names of the most popular varieties

Cabbage varieties differ little by their taste characteristics. As a rule, the forks are small in size and quickly crack from improper watering. Such a vegetable is not suitable for long-term storage..

Among the main varieties, the following can be distinguished:
