Cabbage and Brussel Sprout Plants
« on: April 24, 2008, 14:53 »
We've just bought some plants of the above and i'm just wondering is it ok to plant them out now with the "frost risk" not having passed or should they remain inside till later.

Regards  :D

If you've bought them from a garden centre or the like make sure you harden them off properly before planting out as you have no way of knowing if the grower has done it   :!:

Worth potting up individually so that you get a good root sysyem before planting out.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
