Cabbage is often hoed so that additional roots appear and grow, and root nutrition improves.

Cabbage (radish, radish) is planted on one bed no earlier than 2-3 years later. The plots for planting kohlrabi and Brussels sprouts are not fertilized with manure in spring, so as not to get a large vegetative mass to the detriment of the formation of stalks and cabbages.
4. Carrots
Carrot seeds are covered with bristles, so they easily stick together into lumps. Before sowing, they need to be rubbed with your hands, then mixed with sand or peat, which will allow them to be more evenly distributed in the groove.
The following method will help not only to remove the bristles, but also to damage the hard shell of the seeds: they need to be spread out on fine sandpaper and lightly rubbed. Soak the treated seeds in water for 2 days.
In addition, carrot seeds can be sprinkled with boiling water, drain the water after 3-5 minutes. Dry, treat with sandpaper and sow in the open ground on the bed.
5. Cucumbers
For sowing early cucumbers, it is advisable to take several varieties (hybrids). This contributes to better pollination and fruit setting.
You can temper the seeds for 5-7 days, creating variable temperatures for them. For example, put in the refrigerator at night at a temperature of + 4 ° C, and keep warm during the day at +15…+20°C. During quenching, the seeds should be carefully mixed and moistened, preventing drying and germination, and slightly dried before sowing.
