When can you plant cabbage in open ground in May?
When choosing the time to plant cabbage in May, they are guided by the night temperature. For rapid establishment and minimal loss of seedlings at night, the air must be stably warmed up to +8 degrees.
Typically, such weather occurs in central Russia in the first ten days of May. At this time, early ripening varieties of the crop are planted.
