In the country area we arranged a real garden. Our vegetables are environmentally friendly and tasty. We use our seeds, learned to get them and keep them. I even grind the seeds of the cooked cabbage, but how to get seeds of cauliflower, do not know. Is it possible to get them on your garden?
If you have a desire to get cauliflower seeds on your garden, then this can be done, but only subject to the observance of a number of rules.
. Cauliflower for receiving seeds should be one variety. Seed plants of other varieties must be at a sufficient distance. Do not fear the proximity of other cruciferous vegetables: turnips, trousers, radish, tours.
. To obtain seeds, cauliflower is grown through seedlings.
. Seeds are seeded in February.
. Finished seedlings put in the open ground in late April - early May. In the conditions of the non-black-earth zone of Russia, the seeds ripen out 200-240 days after sowing. And the heads are formed until July 1.
. Seeds leave healthy well-developed plants with typical heads typical. Pay attention to their density, size and color.
. In each head, only 3-5 lateral flowers are left, and the entire middle part is cut with a sharp knife.
. Fit plants with full NPK mineral fertilizer. It takes 60-70 g of superphosphate, 30-40 g of ammonia nitrate, 15-20 g of potassium chloride.
