Hi all,
Started cabbage in cell trays and the seedlings are between 2-3 inchs tall.
Should i plant these out now under fleece in a seed bed or final position? or is it too cold?

1st time growing cabbage

thanks, shaun.

Its a bit cold at the minute let them grow a bit bigger,then plant them in final position.If they are getting too big for their pot,transplant them on to a bigger pot.
Their not a fussy thing to grow shaun,when its half decent weather bang them in ,try and stop the root fly with a collar or something,give them the occasional liquid feed if you want to and thats about it,i love growing cabbages myself

Good advice from Maxie.

Also if you have them growing in a warm place indoors put them outside on a warmish day and bring them back in over night. I wouldn't plonk them from warmth straight out into their growing positions =- too much of a thermal shock.

Give them a chance to get acclimatised by daily outings first.

if there is any club root on your plot i would let them get much bigger, as already said transplant to bigger pots so you will have bigger rootballs to give them a better start. good luck.

I think letting them get much bigger is a good idea before exposing them to the cut and thrust of the plot. They will need hardening off for about a week before planting out.  I cover mine with Enviromesh as they will get eaten by rabbits and/or pigeons if I don't.  Then there's the pheasants, deer .......
