CABBAGE

The cabbage is a cruciferous plant which has obtained by a long process of selection from the wild cabbage. Cabbage varieties differ in appearance, size, hardiness and in time required for this development. The cabbage is a typical heavy – land crop and attains its greatest perfaction on strong clays that contains plenty of lime. However it grows well on light soils which have been given body by manuring. The crop does well anywhere in Britain and resists drought when it is well established but it does not start well unless it gets a good deal of rain, in dry climate it is less resistant to parasites.

A common method of growing cabbage is to sow the seed in a greenhouse or hotbeds in seed boxes 4 – 6 weeks before outdoor planting. As soon as the true leaves appear about 2 weeks after a sowing, the seedlings are to be pricked out to other feats or transplanted to hotbeds directly in the seed-bed from 1 to 2 inches apart. Sometimes the seed is sown thinly in rows 2-6 inches apart in hotbeds and the seedlings are transplanted in the field. Provided the soil is dry at transplanting time. Water should be added. The plant should be set deep enough so that the first leaves are almost touching the ground. For small acreages the plant are usually transplanted by hand. Transplanting machines equipped to add water are usually employed where large acreages are to be set. In order to apply cultivation there should be ample space between plants or planting time. The cultivation should be shallow and good control of weeds.
