How to plant beef cabbage

1. Seedling raising: When raising seedlings of cabbage, you need to choose a place with good drainage and loose soil so that it can grow more healthily. If the climate is hot, you need to take good seedling raising measures and thin out the seedlings after half a month of growth.
