Allotments 4 All

Hi guys,

Is it to late for me to plant some cabbage  left some uncovered and you guessed it ,was eaten by pigeons, if not to late, should i plant in doors in a tray or straight in to the ground?

Luckily they only gotn a small patch.  Does anyone here shoot them?

the earlier sowings produce cabbages in august - i didnt want them then! so this year i am sowing them late - around about the next two weeks - then i will plant them in their final postions when big enough. i will do them in newspaper rolls because ti dont have a seedbed outside. lack of space issues.

but whatever works for you. i am sure you can do them straight outside now - it's warm enough. maybe sow them into a depression, so you can then 'earth them up' when they are a little bigger and firm them down the way you would if you were planting them.

There is hardly amonth in the year when you can't plant cabbages of some sort! Bags of time for summer cabbage yet!
;D

ill get planting:)

Phil - there could be some confusion here -  are we talking of planting or sowing??

sowing sorry

Lots of garden centres will have cabbage plants available now if you don't want (or can't wait) for seeds to germinate.

i rely on advantage f1 quite heavily, as you can sow almost all year round and harvest the same.  Not massive, but good pointed with really green leaves.  Im harvesting them now and they weigh over a pound each !
