Calabrese planting out seedlings

[glosterwomble]

I sowed some calabrese seeds in small modules and they're now ready to plant out, in my allotment book it says plant them by burying them up to the first set of leaves. Is this the way others would do it? I'm I reading it correctly, does it mean like you can with tomato seedlings?

Yes - DEEP!!

[norfolklass]

does that apply to all brassicas?
will be planting out red cabbage soon and it would be nice to know what I'm doing :-[

[okra]

yes same advice - plant them deep and cover as the pigeons love them

Oh dear: first year I have grown broccoli. Planted mine last week. Not sure if they were up to the first leaves though. They seem to be firm enough though as I stamped on the ground around them.

ok, thanks for the advice, it seems wrong to plant stem underground, I would have thought it would rot off.

I'm a bit behind as I just sowed mine today

Hey rosy, we haven't even sown any yet, so you're not the last  ::)
