well this is my 2nd term of owning my plot and this year i have less weeds to care for and can grow some stuff
if i buy some cabbage plants etc can they just go straight in the ground and should i cover them.
also runner beans can the seeds be planted direct into the ground. am assuming they can after all our ancestors managed with less than we have now

It'll be summer cabbage if you are buying now, and should be fully hardy, once they get used to outside conditions.....can you cover with fleece at night for a few days?

Runner beans can go straight into the ground but you have to leave it till a week or so before your estimated last frost date. If they come up and frost is forecast again, then it's out with the fleece again
