White cabbage - Express - 50 g - Exceptionally juicy texture, delicate flavour - Fresh Seeds

The Express white cabbage is a super early variety that allows you to enjoy the harvest just about 45 days after planting out seedlings. It forms very shapely, conical, and tight heads weighing 0.8-1.2 kg. The leaves are crisp, delicate in taste, and work perfectly in fresh slaws and salads, as well as after short thermal processing. This variety is valued for its rapid growth, even head formation, and high commercial quality.

Sowing

Seeds are sown into frames, under cover, or directly into the ground. The substrate should be well-cultivated, loosened, and moist, with the addition of organic matter. Even moisture after sowing promotes rapid and uniform emergence.

Sowing depth

Place seeds at a depth of 0.5-1 cm and cover with a thin layer of soil. Shallow sowing stabilises moisture conditions and facilitates germination.

Sowing time for direct sowing

The optimal time for sowing directly into the ground falls in April and May, when the soil is warmed and maintained in constant, moderate moisture.

Sowing time under cover

It is worth starting sowing under cover as early as February or March. This allows you to prepare strong seedlings and significantly accelerate yielding.

Planting time

Plant seedlings out at the permanent site from April to May. Plants should be well-rooted and hardened off to quickly resume growth after planting.

Seedlings

Seedlings are produced by sowing into containers or boxes. After 4-6 weeks, when the seedlings reach the appropriate size, they are ready for transplanting. During the seedling production period, even watering and providing a bright, airy position are important.

Spacing

The recommended spacing is 50 x 50 cm. Appropriate intervals improve air circulation within the crop, facilitate maintenance, and limit the risk of diseases.

Site

It grows best in a sunny, or possibly slightly shaded, position. It requires fertile, humus-rich, and permeable soil with a slightly acidic to neutral reaction. Regular watering, especially during rainless periods, supports even head formation.

Cultivation

The variety grows quickly, so systematic feeding is advisable, especially with organic fertilisers. Mulching limits weed growth, stabilises moisture, and improves plant condition. Caring for the cleanliness of the site and proper crop rotation supports the health of the cultivation.

Harvest time

Harvests are usually carried out 45-60 days after planting seedlings, most often from May to July, depending on the seedling production date and weather conditions. Collect compact and firm heads, preferably on dry days.

Usage

Express cabbage is excellent fresh for slaws and salads. It also works well in soups, stewed dishes, and preserves. The delicate taste of the leaves creates harmonious combinations with other vegetables and herbs, and the conical shape of the head facilitates portioning.

Resistance and health

The variety shows good tolerance to typical problems of cabbage cultivation. Regular inspection of the plantation and the use of natural methods to limit the pressure of diseases and pests help maintain the plants in excellent condition.
