I'll be doing the caulis in late June, I've got some heritage ones this year, but Winter Pilgrim are good.

Spring cabbage in July, try "April" or "Durham Early".
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Not sure when I sowed my spring cabbages last year, August-ish I think (it was a bit of a blur last year), but I planted out in September.

For the purposes of crop rotation which bed do the Spring cabbage go in? This year's brassica bed or next year's brassica bed?
