White cabbage undoubtedly occupies a special place of honor in our daily diet, as well as in the beds. However, along with it, there are many other interesting varieties that are also distinguished by high taste and nutritional qualities. What kind of care do broccoli, kohlrabi, and Brussels sprouts require in April?
Broccoli lovers
By the end of April, you need to be ready to move asparagus seedlings to the beds. For broccoli, they should be fertilized with manure in the fall or compost in the spring. You should also check with your entries in the gardener's diary, whether phosphorus-potassium fertilizers were applied. If not, you need to worry about preparing items like this:
• lime-ammonium nitrate - 0.4 kg;
• superphosphate - 0.3 kg;
• potassium salt - 0.3 kg.
Calculations are made based on the norm per 10 square meters. Nitrogen fertilizers are not applied in full immediately. To fertilize the soil, they will be consumed by a third, and the rest will be applied as top dressing.
After fertilization, a shallow digging of the earth is carried out and leveled for planting cabbage. An important condition for growing a healthy crop is that another cabbage crop should not have been sown here earlier. Also in April, you can still have time to sow seeds in the nursery.
Kohlrabi: both tops and roots
If in the first half of April it was recommended to plant kohlrabi under a film, then closer to the third decade of the month it is already possible to place vegetables in the open ground. Soil preparation for this crop is similar to other varieties of cabbage, with the only feature that kohlrabi does not favor fresh manure in the soil. Therefore, it is better to grow kohlrabi in the second year after filling the land with organic matter or use compost for these purposes.
Additionally, you will need the following mineral compositions:
• lime-ammonium nitrate - 0.2 kg;
• superphosphate - 0.2 kg;
• potassium salt - 0.2 kg.
When you are just developing your personal plot, and it was not possible to fill the garden with compost in time, experts recommend doubling this rate.
Kohlrabi cabbage is grown mainly for eating its unusual stem. However, the leaves of the plant can also be used for food. However, for this, the landing is carried out according to two different schemes. On average, 1 sq. M. the area of the beds is placed about 10 pieces. seedlings. If you intend to use kohlrabi leaves in cooking, then planting plants is done closer to each other. When the goal is to get a beautiful cabbage stalk, it should be more spacious in the garden. By the time of planting, the seedlings should have 2 pairs of leaves.
Another nuance when growing a large turnip is to monitor the temperature regime of the kohlrabi, which grows under the film. If the thermometer rises above +25 degrees C, the cabbage will begin to go into the arrow to the detriment of the formation of the root crop. Therefore, on days when the sun is hot, the shelters need to be raised so that the plantings are aired. Also, cabbage should not be allowed to remain unprotected for a long time when the temperature drops below +10 degrees C. Kohlrabi is famous for its frost resistance, but when the weather deteriorates for a long time, this also leads to shooting.
Brussels sprouts do not like clay soil
To succeed in Brussels sprouts, you need to know that they do not like heat and too high humidity. In addition, the quality of the heads of cabbage can disappoint owners of plots with a clay composition of the soil. In such conditions, they are tied looser. This culture prefers sandy loam and loamy soil, fertile areas rich in humus.
Seed propagation in a nursery can be done in two terms: in the second and third ten days of April, depending on whether the harvest of mid-season or late varieties is to be harvested.
