Potting on cabbage

I waited for my one lot of cabbage to get four true leaves before potting on, they potted on and then looked rough for 4-5 days. 95% recovered some didnt.

The next batch hubby potted on only with two true leaves as they were in his way  However out of all of them the smaller plants look and coped so much better. No drooping, no looking sad, just got on with it.

I have another batch ( dont ask why so many cabbage)  with two leaves on should i pot up early again or wait for the next set of leaves.

Its not the potting up so much its where to put all those 3inch pots full of cabbage.  someone tell me we are not the only family who are growing 200 plus cabbage at the same time.  we still have so much to learn

I pot mine on when they have two good sized true leaves and I plant them in quite deep too. 

I had a lovely Hispi off my raised bed at home last night. I normally grow them out on the plot but I had some spares. I covered them over completely with fleece when I planted them. They were as clean as a whistle. I didn't even wash em 

I've got hispi almost ready to go.  They are a bit nibbled though - were yours?    I was thinking that they don't look very appetising then I reminded myself that this is homegrown not supermarket perfect stuff!!!

BQ I have to ask but what on earth are you going to do with 200 cabbage? No wonder you have got 3 allotments & have run out of room

Half are reds. So pickled  have a look in my diary for my cabbage size pic. Hehe 11lb 7oz hehe
We do love cabbage but because i had never done or should we say been successful with cabbage from seeds i was convinced it would all fail........... And they didnt. I also blame amazon, 99p for 2000 cabbage means its very tempting to grow a few extra
