Topic: I've reached that point

...where I havent got any space left, and lots of brassicas and leeks to plant out. We will have to start eating lots of potatoes pronto!!

On a serious note - am I alright to grow on brassicas in bigger pots for possibly another month or is that asking for trouble?

My leeks go into a corner and sit there until there is space. And the brassicas go into spaces between various crops such as onions that will be harvested over the next few weeks.

But yes, you can grow brassicas in bigger pots; and put them out later.

Great idea putting you brassicas into pots.  I have put some out but there are plenty more.  It has been very dry so the spuds need a little longer.

Many years ago we moved house in the middle of August, we managed to arrange to go into the garden and plant some PSB at the end of July and it did very well.  But pots sound like a great solution.

My sprouts & PSB are in 5" pots waiting for a space. One batch of leeks already planted, but the second lot will go where the Lady C earlies are at the moment.

Brassicas do well in pots, as they have a largish root ball when they get planted out, which helps discourage club root.
