How late can cabbages, kale and the like be sown, to overwinter? I have a few seedlings, sowed these around three weeks ago - was this too late?

I sowed mine at the end of last week. Given everything is late this year I am hoping I might get a bit of a return from them. The packets did say they could be sown Jul / August though

It all depends.............What did the packets say? What varieties were they?

[Mr Sheen]

No posh packets, so no comprehensive instructions. Cavolo Nero kale, January king and Durham early were the cabbages

[mumofstig]

the Cavolo and the Durham Early will be fine but the January King should have been sown back in May 

[Mr Sheen]

Thanks, that's great. Already have some big jan kings growing, so their loss won't be much of a blow. My challenge now is identifying the seedlings, which I didn't label!!!
