How many seasons can cabbage be planted in a year

Cabbage can be planted all year round, but can only be planted once a year . In areas where only one crop is grown a year, it can be sown in May, and in areas where two different crops are grown a year, it can be planted in July.

Cabbage planting conditions

Cabbage likes to grow in an environment with a large temperature difference between day and night, warm and ventilated, and plenty of sunshine. It has strong shade tolerance, and sufficient light can provide energy for the plant to photosynthesize. In the case of insufficient natural light, artificial scattered light can be used for supplementary light. Cabbage is afraid of both extreme heat and severe cold, and the optimal temperature for the entire growth period is 12-25℃.

When planting cabbage, it is best to use nutrient-rich, air-permeable humus soil or garden soil. Cabbage requires a large amount of fertilizer during its growth process. During daily maintenance, fertilizing at a frequency of once every three days can increase the growth rate of the plant. Cabbage requires sufficient water to grow. Water it in a timely and appropriate amount to keep the soil moist. However, if you water too much, loosen the soil in time to promote the discharge of excess water and avoid root rot.

Cabbage harvest time

It takes 55 to 60 days from sowing to the time when cabbage is ready to be harvested. Cabbage sown in May can be harvested in July and August. Cabbage planted in July is generally mature and put on the market in mid-to-late October. Generally, cabbage that matures and is put on the market in autumn and winter tastes better.
