Topic: Planting out cabbage

[bluecar]

I've been hardening off my cabbage plants and they have developed a kink where the wind has impacted on them. If I plant them burying the first two leaves in the ground this will allow them to become upright. Is this the best approach?

I look forward to your replies.

Is this the best approach?

Yes! and the deeper planting should prevent wind rock.

yeh... i often plant mine deeper than originally sown, they will put out extra roots from parts under the soil....
