To grow Beijing cabbage with crispy leaves, do not miss the mid -June. This is the deadline when you can still sow seeds or plant seedlings in order to have time to harvest before the start of severe heat.
How to prepare seedlings
Seeds germinate best in separate cells or small pots. One seed is one container. So seedlings get enough space and do not interfere with each other to develop. The shoots appear quickly, in just 4-7 days.
A month later, stronger plants can be moved to the beds. It is important not to thicken the landing, the distance between the bushes should be at least 45 cm.
Care without difficulties
The soil should be constantly wet. Superficial watering is useless. Water less often, but abundantly, especially in the heat. Once a week it will be optimal.
When the cabbage gains strength and ties the head of the head, it remains only to observe its growth. As soon as the heads become dense and reach the desired size, you can collect.
Light path to a rich harvest
From the moment of landing to the harvesting, only 45-60 days pass. Beijing cabbage quickly responds to proper care. If everything is done on time, by the end of summer, fresh, juicy heads grown with their own hands will be on your table.
