The best varieties of white cabbage for the Urals 2022

Cabbage varieties and hybrids for central Russia can be successfully grown in the Far East, Southern Urals, and southern Western Siberia. Therefore, most varieties for the middle zone are grown in these regions. But at the same time, here in Russia there are cold climatic zones. And therefore, to grow cabbage in these regions, varieties specially adapted for these places are needed. And this is precisely what Russian breeders are currently working on.

Cabbage varieties are early-ripening, mid-ripening and late-ripening. However, they all differ in the vegetative period of maturation. Therefore, the agricultural conditions for growing cabbage differ among them. Thus, you must understand what kind of cabbage you want to end up with. Here, you need to proceed from your tastes and wishes.

See the table for the types of cabbage:

Variety Ripening period Early ripening 70 - 105 days Mid ripening 80 - 115 days Late ripening 165 - 180 days

The best early ripening varieties of cabbage

“Early cabbage” - the name speaks for itself. The growing season for early cabbage is 70 - 105 days (this period is calculated from the emergence of seedlings to harvest). Moreover, if everything is done correctly, at the end of June you will reap the first harvest of this crop. Basically, early cabbage is used for fresh consumption in the form of salads. You can also use it to make cabbage soup, solyanka, and soups. Also, it is used as a side dish for any dishes.

Early cabbage does not have much cabbage weight; this applies to almost all varieties and hybrids for this plant. But, there are exceptions. Read carefully.

Tips for growing cabbage seedlings in the Urals

Some gardeners practice the method of growing seedlings by sowing seeds in the ground. But in the harsh Ural climate, good heads of cabbage will not grow every year. The most proven method is the seedling method. The cabbage harvest largely depends on the quality of the seedlings. To grow it, you need to follow certain rules.

Preparation of a suitable soil mixture. Seedlings grow well in purchased soil. But self-made soil is also quite good. To make it, you need to mix sand and turf soil in equal proportions. We disinfect the substrate with boiling water, and then add a little ash (10 tablespoons of wood ash per 1 bucket of soil).
Time to sow seeds. The timing of planting has already been described above, but let us write once again that a lot depends on the variety. To obtain early heads of cabbage in the summer, it is advisable to sow the seeds as early as possible (in April). And the rest of the seedlings in May.
Checking seed germination. Before sowing, it is recommended to check the quality of the seeds. To do this, a couple of weeks before planting, soak the seeds in a damp cloth. If most of them have sprouted, then the quality of the seeds is good.
Cabbage sowing technology. Plant seeds both in individual cups and in a common container. Fill the container with soil and sow the seeds to a depth of about 1 cm. Water. We constantly monitor soil moisture. After emergence, move the container to a windowsill with good lighting.
Watering the seedlings. It is advisable to water as the soil dries out. Excessive watering creates a threat of viral and fungal diseases. But you should also remember that the soil should not be allowed to dry out, due to the fact that cabbage is a moisture-loving plant. Important! We water with water at room temperature. Rain and melt water are excellent.
Lighting. For good seedling growth, about 15 hours of light per day are needed. If there is a lack of light, artificial lighting is organized in the house. If this is not possible, it is better to sow the seeds later in a greenhouse or greenhouse in early May. In such conditions, cabbage grows strong and healthy.
Temperature for growth. At what temperature are cabbage seedlings grown? 18-20 degrees before emergence is considered optimal. Then the room temperature is reduced to 10 at night and to 15 degrees during the day. A large difference between day and night temperatures hardens the seedlings and prevents stretching.
Picking cabbage. When growing seedlings in one container, as they grow, they are planted into separate cups. Picking is carried out in the phase of 2 true leaves. When transplanting, seedlings are buried down to the cotyledon leaves.
Hardening. When to harden off cabbage seedlings? Hardening begins 10 days before planting in the ground. In the first days they simply place it in front of the window. And in 4-5 days they are transferred for a day to a loggia or greenhouse.

How and when to plant cabbage seedlings in the Urals in open ground

There is no need to rush into planting cabbage in the garden because night frosts are still possible at the end of May. The optimal time for planting cabbage in open ground is June 1, when the temperature reaches above zero day and night.

If for some reason you had to plant the seedlings early and the weather is expected to get colder at night, then to be safe, it is recommended to cover the plants with non-woven covering material. Such a shelter will save the plant from frost.

In a pre-prepared bed, we make deep holes at a distance of 50x50 cm. We place cabbage seedlings in each hole and cover them with soil up to the first leaves. Water generously. To protect from wind and sun, cover the cabbage with fir or non-woven covering material. In the first days, be sure to maintain optimal soil moisture. When the seedlings take root in the new place, we remove the shelters.
