Leggy brassica plants
« on: May 11, 2013, 15:50 »
My plugs I purchased I potted on to beef up and to provide time to finish the bed they have gone a bit leggy will plant out over course of next week, will I get away with planting deeper up to say first leaves on the broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower ? See picture advise would be great thanks on this wet Saturday!

yes to first true leaf, prop it up with a piece of cane to straighten it  :)

Make sure you really firm them in well.
