Anbautipps

There are generally three different types of savoy cabbage varieties: early, medium and late ripening. Savoy cabbage is suitable for both preplanting and direct sowing. Early varieties of savoy cabbage should be sown as early as February. A bright windowsill or greenhouse is suitable for this. For medium varieties, May is the best time for planting out or sowing. Late varieties can be sown from July. Most later varieties of Savoy cabbage can also overwinter outdoors without any problems. If there is still a risk of night frost when planting out the early varieties, you can remedy this by covering them with garden fleece. Sunny beds are preferred, but semi-shady spots are also perfectly adequate. If your soil is rather sandy, you can improve the soil with compost and horn shavings before planting out. During the growth phase, you should loosen the soil around the plant from time to time with a hoe. As savoy cabbage is a so-called root crop, it will thank you for regularly loosening the soil. Savoy cabbage is generally a grateful companion for the hobby garden, as it is very easy to care for and can be easily grown in your own bed. Excessive fertilization leads to reduced resistance to diseases and a sulphurous taste. Furthermore, the shelf life also suffers considerably. When growing savoy cabbage in the same area, you should - as with all types of cabbage - take a four-year break from cultivation.
