Any gardener should periodically assess the development of cabbage in order to be able to harvest.
If the vegetable does not have time to form heads, the harvest will be at risk.
Landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, spoke about the reasons why the vegetable does not form heads.
What do they consist of?
Acidity indices
It is important to remember that cabbage does not tolerate acidic soil well and does not want to develop in such conditions. Therefore, deoxidation procedures should be carried out in advance before planting.
Adverse weather conditions
If it gets hot or suddenly gets cold, it can prevent the cabbage from forming heads. This is extremely difficult to control, but it is important to take into account.
You can always use various shelters to reduce the degree of negative impact of weather conditions.
Predecessors
Not everyone knows that even previous crops can have a negative impact on the development of cabbage. Therefore, you should not try to grow the vegetable after cruciferous vegetables.
