Rule one: variety selection

If you are going to keep your cabbage crop fresh until spring, take care of the right varieties well in advance. These must necessarily be mid-ripening and late-ripening varieties - they are the most mature. The record holders for long-term storage are the following varieties: Gift, Morozko, Kamenka, Amager, Snow White and Moscow late.

Rule two: harvest on time

Timely harvest is one of the fundamental principles of successful storage. Cabbage for long-term storage should not be overexposed in the garden. Overripe heads of cabbage can crack, and in this state they will not lie for a long time.

Important! Harvest cabbage only in dry weather. When harvesting, always leave the top leaves - they will keep the vegetable from surface damage and disease.

Rule three: sort the crop

After harvesting, sort and remove any cracked, damaged, frozen, overgrown, and diseased heads. They will not last long, and if they start to deteriorate, they will harm a healthy crop and thereby destroy all supplies.

Rule four: use the recommendations for storing cabbage

Heads of cabbage can be stored both in the cellar and in the apartment. There are several ways to do this.

In the cellar, cabbage is well stored wrapped in edible paper or film. In this form, it must be put on the shelves with stumps up. You can resort to hanging the heads of cabbage, but this must be foreseen in advance and leave the cabbage stumps 5-7 centimeters long. With this method, the head of cabbage is tied to the stump and the vegetable is suspended from the ceiling in the cellar.

A balcony is ideal for storing cabbage in an apartment. This vegetable can lie for a long time at temperatures from zero to two degrees. Heads of cabbage should be wrapped in foil or paper and be sure to put in an insulated box so that they do not freeze during subzero temperatures. Between the heads of cabbage, it is best to fill in sawdust. Thus, they calmly lie fresh until spring, even in an apartment!
