If you want the cabbage harvest from your own plot to evoke nothing but pride, you will have to try hard.

And the first task you have to solve is to choose the time to sow the seeds.

In this matter, the climatic features of the area, the weather forecast and even the recommendations of the lunar calendar should serve as a guide.

If you don’t want to bother too much, use the so-called universal terms, which will help you not to miss the right time for sowing.

So, if we are talking about early varieties of cabbage, it is recommended to sow them from March 1 to March 28.

Suitable dates for the medium variety start from March 25 and last until April 15.

Late cabbage seeds should be planted in the soil from April 10 to April 30.

To determine the period in which sowing should be done, do not forget that it usually takes 10 days for the first sprouts to appear. Add to this figure 50-55 days, when it is already permissible to plant cabbage in a permanent place, and you will get that 60-65 days should pass between sowing seeds and planting seedlings in open ground.
