Only if the cabbage leaves its “familiar place” in time, there will be no problems with its storage.
Moreover, such a vegetable, according to the assurances of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , will have an excellent taste, increased juiciness and contain a large amount of nutrients.
And vice versa, when harvesting is rushed or delayed, you shouldn’t even think about preserving the loose heads of cabbage: rot is just waiting for its moment to attack the cabbage.

2. The upper leaves have become lighter or have acquired a bluish tint or silver sheen.
3. The lower leaves, on the contrary, begin to turn yellow and wither.
