The planting method of purple cabbage recommended by the Beginning of Autumn

Purple cabbage is a variety of cabbage, which is called purple cabbage because of its purple color. Purple cabbage is crisp and refreshing, very suitable for eating raw or making salad with other vegetables, and it is very nutritious and contains a lot of essential vitamins, which is very helpful to patients with hypertension and diabetes and is loved by people. Today, I would like to share the planting method of purple cabbage for my vegetable friends.

STEP1: soil preparation, fertilization and ridging. The growth cycle of purple cabbage is about 80 days. In order to ensure sufficient nutrients during the whole growth period, sufficient base fertilizer should be applied before sowing, and generally fermented organic fertilizer is suitable. After applying good fertilizer, turn deeply, and then ridge, the ridge height is about 20 centimeters, the ridge width is about 30 centimeters.

STEP2: sow seeds and emerge seedlings. Purple cabbage is grown in a way similar to that of Chinese cabbage. The sowing step is to first draw a small ditch about 1 cm deep at the top of the ridge, and then water it in the ditch. After the water seeps down, you can sow seeds. During this period, crickets and grasshoppers love to eat seedlings, so the seeds should be properly denser. After sowing the seeds, cover the seeds with a fine soil about 1 cm thick. After emergence, and then slowly seedling, in order to ensure the seedling rate. All the seedlings can be produced within 5 days after sowing.

STEP3: seedling management. Purple cabbage in the seedling stage should pay attention to time seedlings, weeding, seedlings squeezed together, and time seedlings, dry weather should be watered frequently. The final width of the seedlings should be 25 to 30 cm.

STEP4: management during the closing period. When purple cabbage grows to 10 leaves, it gradually enters the heading stage, during which fertilizer and water management should be strengthened. Watering should be accompanied by a certain amount of nitrogen fertilizer, but do not apply too much at one time, so as to avoid heartburn.

STEP5: harvest. When the stem ball of purple cabbage knot begins to become very tight, it can be harvested. Don't harvest too early, otherwise the taste will not be good if it is not fully developed.
