Monitor the temperature

Therefore, it is necessary to think about protective measures for the crop in case of changes in air temperature.
You shouldn't leave cabbage on the plot for a long time.
If you notice that the harvest is definitely ready for harvesting, then you should not delay: because of this, the cabbage may crack at the very last moment, leaving you without vegetable supplies.
Correct watering regime
Due to violations of watering recommendations, cabbage may crack. This happens especially often in cases when, after a long break, the gardener begins to actively water the beds with large amounts of water.
