In terms of its beneficial properties, Chinese cabbage is in no way inferior to other varieties, with perhaps a few exceptions.

It is also used in salads in its raw form and is used to prepare semi-finished products. However, unlike white cabbage, not all gardeners grow Peking cabbage.

In fact, you can grow Chinese cabbage in your dacha and even do without the hassle of seedlings.

So, if we are talking about planting cabbage without seedlings, then seeds will be used.

It is not too late to plant Pekinka in July, gardeners assure.

But it is necessary to take into account the climate and weather conditions.

The variety also matters. Early ones will be ready for harvesting after 40-55 days. Late Peking cabbage is harvested after 60-80 days.

Chinese cabbage seeds are sown into the soil to a depth of approximately one centimeter.

The distance between plantings is left within 10 centimeters.

After sowing, the bed needs to be covered.

Gardeners advise giving preference to Dutch seeds.

This crop grows well together with cucumbers and tomatoes.
