Title: Spring Cabbage
Post by: sticks on September 06, 2011, 12:32:14

My spring cabbages should be ready to plant out in 2 or 3 weeks time. I'm planning on planting them where my potatoes were growing.

Is there anything I need to do to prepare the ground before I plant them out?

I would add some lime and BFB or any other general purpose fertilizer :)
