We have raised this cabbage ourselves right from the start! In our own seedbed, tiny seeds have grown into strong young plants – and now the time has come: we are planting them out in the prepared field.
We carefully lift the seedlings out of the bed and stand them in water for a short while so the fine roots stay fresh. Then we plant each young plant one by one in the loose, well-prepared soil – with enough space between them so every cabbage can grow big and healthy.
Why we are so pleased:
- Grown by us: From seed to harvest – all done ourselves. That makes us more independent and saves money.
- Healthy food: Cabbage is packed with vitamins and fibre and strengthens the children’s immune systems.
- A steady supply: From our own seedbed we can keep raising new seedlings and harvest again and again throughout the year.
- Sustainable & resilient: Raising our own plants means relying less on expensive seed – a real step towards self-sufficiency.
Thank you for making this possible – step by step we are growing towards self-sufficiency. 💚
