Hello,

well I have just put into a tray Cabbage golden Acre
Khol Rabi
Jersey wakefield Cabbage
Kale Scarlet
PSB - my spring sowing got eaten by snails.
Calabrese Natalino
Cavolo Nero

obviously I am opening up the pigeon bistro again for early spring - this year I will build better defences.

I have not put a great deal of seeds in each module I don't really want lots of plants maybe 4- 6 of each.

they will go into the bed where are overwintering onions are not quite ready yet but looking good.
My Brussels Sprouts are looking fantastic and I have just potted them on.

did you forget to cover the brassicas.I did that once so I bought debris netting 50 meters in all so that I wont run out and now always cover them up. Pigeons and slugs,snails love it. You will just be a little bit behind if you put seeds in. On our allotment there is always someone who has seedlings over.

Nothing bonkers about that. I've sown several varieties of kale, plus rooted cuttings of perennial varieties. I've got one variety flowering, and another budding.
