Cabbage is the king of winter salad and one of the most popular vegetables that we grow in the garden and in a pot starting from the autumn season.

In addition to great taste, cabbage has significant nutritional value as it is rich in vitamins, antioxidants and fiber.

Cabbage belongs to the same family as cauliflower and broccoli while it is a cold season plant and the ideal temperature for its growth is 15-18 degrees Celsius.

Cabbages are planted mainly in sunny places, although semi-shady places are useful in early summer plantings where there is a lot of heat.

Cabbage can grow in all types of soils, except very acidic soils, and requires good drainage.

Cabbage is transplanted from mid-August to early November depending on the conditions we grow in each area.

 During transplanting, cabbages are planted in rows 80-100 cm apart, while the ideal distance between cabbage plants in the same row is 50-60 cm.

Regarding the watering of the crop, it needs watering approximately every 1-2 days at the end of summer and 2-3 times a week during the autumn period.

Cabbage is a very nutrient-rich vegetable with a high content of vitamins!
