Hi All

They were sowed in a different bed and then transplanted about three weeks ago I would have thought they would have moved on by now.

The ones still left where they were sowed are ok.

Many thanks

Paul

The middle leaves look healthy and are probably growing well, whereas the outer leaves are clearly on the way out at that colour.

I wouldn't worry too much. It s probably a reaction to being moved,

As above, looks quite healthy and normal for a transplant. No netting I notice though. Birds can be very partial to PSB. Brassicas really can suffer a lot if attacked by birds in the early stages, they can even give up the ghost and go to seed because of it. I would always net such greens until they are at least big enough to survive a bird attack.

That transplant has not been attacked by birds, I can assure you! However, if they are a problem in your area they will need to be protected.

I agree with Sunny, it's the shock of transplantation. One of the reasons I raise mine in modules and then pot on into 3" pots. The other reason for me is club root. Transplants go out with a good root ball and are hardly affected by the process.

Nets are good to stop the cabbage whites too.

Of course they don't DD  and I didn't say the psb were attacked by birds. They look healthy to me. I was just adding a concern that they might be asking for it. I see so many newcomers to our site get despondent when their carefully grown seedlings are decimated over a day. I thought it best to remind.
