There are several points in caring for cabbage that you should pay attention to - and then your neighbors will sigh with envy, looking at your harvest.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , irrigation plays an important role in growing this vegetable.

At first, you will have to visit the cabbage beds with a watering can quite often, but only until the head of cabbage appears.

Once the head of cabbage begins to form, frequent watering is no longer required to avoid it cracking.
