Growing Savoy Cabbage Di Napoli Tardivo involves providing the right conditions for this specific variety of cabbage to thrive. Here's a general guide on how to grow Savoy Cabbage Di Napoli Tardivo:
1. **Planting Time:**
- Savoy cabbage is a cool-season crop. Start seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost in your area.
- Transplant seedlings outdoors once they are 4-6 weeks old and have a couple of true leaves.
- Alternatively, you can direct sow seeds outdoors in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest.
2. **Soil Preparation:**
- Choose well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0 to 7.0).
- Incorporate organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, into the soil to improve fertility and structure.
3. **Sowing Seeds:**
- Sow Savoy Cabbage Di Napoli Tardivo seeds indoors in seed trays or pots. Plant the seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep.
- Transplant seedlings into the garden when they are 4-6 weeks old and have a couple of true leaves.
4. **Sunlight:**
- Savoy cabbage prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
5. **Watering:**
- Keep the soil consistently moist. Cabbage requires regular watering, especially during dry periods.
- Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the leaves, which can contribute to diseases.
6. **Fertilizing:**
- Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or organic compost to provide essential nutrients.
- Side-dress with additional fertilizer when the plants are about halfway to maturity.
7. **Spacing:**
- Plant Savoy Cabbage Di Napoli Tardivo with spacing of about 18-24 inches between plants. Adequate spacing helps promote good air circulation and prevents disease.
8. **Protection from Cold:**
- Savoy cabbage is more tolerant of cold than other cabbage types, but it's still advisable to protect young plants with row covers or cloches in case of frost.
9. **Harvesting:**
- Harvest Savoy Cabbage Di Napoli Tardivo when the heads are firm, compact, and reach a suitable size. The ideal size depends on the specific variety, so refer to the seed packet or plant label.
- You can harvest the whole head or pick individual leaves as needed.
10. **Successive Planting:**
- Consider successive plantings every 2-3 weeks for a continuous harvest.
11. **Pest and Disease Management:**
- Monitor for common cabbage pests, such as aphids and cabbage worms. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil for pest control.
- Practice good garden hygiene to prevent diseases. Savoy cabbage is susceptible to certain diseases affecting brassicas, so avoid planting in areas with a history of such diseases.
Growing Savoy Cabbage Di Napoli Tardivo requires attention to temperature, moisture, and soil conditions. Adjust care based on your specific growing conditions and local climate.
