Cabbage occupies an important position among winter vegetables in northern regions due to its cold resistance and rich nutritional value. To ensure sufficient supply of cabbage in winter, farmers in northern regions usually choose the appropriate time to sow according to local climatic conditions. Generally speaking, fall is the best time to sow cabbage so that it can be harvested in early winter, just in time for the demand in the cold season. Let’s learn in detail when is the best time to sow cabbage? When is the best time to sow cabbage? Spring sowing: Spring is the fastest growing season for cabbage, and it is generally planted from March to May. The climate during this period is mild, which is suitable for the growth of cabbage. Autumn sowing: Autumn is suitable for planting from August to September. 3-5 days before and after the beginning of autumn is the suitable sowing time for autumn cabbage, but the specific time can be adjusted appropriately according to actual weather conditions. Late-maturing varieties can be sown earlier, while mid-maturing varieties can be sown a few days later. Winter sowing: Winter planting is carried out from November to January of the following year. Cabbage is more cold-resistant during this period, but protective measures need to be taken to prevent frost damage. When choosing a sowing time, you also need to consider soil conditions, such as soil drainage and fertility, and whether proper soil amendments and fertilization have been done. In addition, choosing healthy, pest-free seeds and selecting the right variety for local climatic conditions are also key factors in successfully growing cabbage. Cabbage planting conditions Temperature: The suitable temperature for cabbage growth is between 15-25℃. Seeds are best germinated at 8 to 10 degrees, and the temperature during the growth period is best controlled at 10 to 22 degrees. Temperatures above 30 degrees are not conducive to the growth of cabbage, while temperatures below 5 degrees may cause frost damage. Soil: Cabbage grows best in fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. The soil fertility requirements are relatively high, and loose soil with good drainage should be selected. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have strong fertilizer and water retention capabilities. Light: Cabbage likes light and is suitable to be planted in places with sufficient light. Adequate sunlight helps photosynthesis and promotes the production of nutrients. But in the high temperatures of summer, appropriate protective measures are needed to prevent the leaves from being burned. Water: Cabbage needs to keep the soil moist during the growing period. Adequate water is an important factor in ensuring high yield. But at the same time, be careful to avoid water accumulation, so as not to affect the health of the roots. In general, the best time to plant cabbage depends on the specific variety and local climatic conditions. Generally speaking, the suitable temperature for cabbage growth is between 15-25℃, so spring and autumn are ideal seasons for sowing cabbage.
