Chickpea, also known as Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, Shanghai green, etc. It is a young seedling of Chinese cabbage in Cruciferae. Chickpea is planted on the balcony, and all kinds of cabbage can be potted.

The cultivated soil can be mixed evenly with vegetable garden soil, humus soil and appropriate amount of organic fertilizer in proportion. Cultivation containers can be shallow flowerpots, wooden pots, foam plastic boxes, etc., and the depth of the container is 15 ~ 2 cm. The planting method can be direct seeding or seedling transplanting. Generally, it can be harvested in time within 25 ~ 3 days after emergence.

Generally, Chinese cabbage can be directly sown after soaking in warm water, without accelerating germination. Specifically, two parts of boiled water and one part of cold water are poured into a clean basin to make the water temperature reach 5 ~ 55℃, then the vegetable seeds are quickly poured into water and immediately stirred to make the seeds evenly heated. After 15 ~ 2 minutes, when the water temperature drops to 3℃, they are soaked in normal temperature water for 6 ~ 8 hours.

when the seeds are almost soaked, water the pot soil, and the seeds can be evenly mixed with fine soil and spread on the soil surface, covered with 1cm fine soil, and germinated in about 1 week. Seedling transplanting can be carried out when the seedlings have four real leaves. After transplanting, it is necessary to keep moisture and shade in order to slow down the seedlings. Chickpea can be planted on family balconies in all seasons in southern China, and it is not suitable for growth due to high temperature in summer, so it is best to sow in spring and autumn. Sowing can be carried out in spring, summer and autumn in northern China, and the indoor cultivation growth period will be prolonged in winter.
