What is the best season to plant Chinese cabbage?

Which month is suitable for planting Chinese cabbage?

Chinese cabbage can be grown in most areas because of its strong adaptability. It can be grown even in cold areas, but spring is the most suitable time to plant Chinese cabbage, which allows it to grow better.

Normally, the time for planting Chinese cabbage is from March to November every year. Although it can be planted in cold areas, the temperature must be controlled. The sowing period of Chinese cabbage is generally from March to November, and the growing period is 20-30 days.

How to plant Chinese cabbage

1. Planting soil: Although the soil requirements for Chinese cabbage planting are not high and it can be planted in both the north and south, it is still better to choose sandy soil that is rich in organic matter and has loose and fertile material.

2. Daily management: After the Chinese cabbage seeds germinate, in order to keep the soil moist and speed up germination, water them once in the morning and evening. When 2-3 true leaves grow, thin out the seedlings appropriately and pull out the weaker branches and leaves. Also pay attention to removing weeds.

Points to note when planting Chinese cabbage

1. Watering: Watering needs to be controlled during the growing period of Chinese cabbage to ensure the moisture of the soil and avoid excessive growth due to excessive water. In the later period, watering should be controlled to promote the Chinese cabbage to enter the heading period.

2. Harvesting: Press the top of the leaf ball with your hand. If it feels firm and full, it means the leaf ball is ripe and can be picked. Then use a sharp knife to cut it from the root of the plant. You can eat it or store it, or you can wrap the leaf ball with outer leaves to protect it from the cold.
