Hello Peter, I'm in West Yorkshire (near Pontefract) I've put some Cauliflowers, cabbage and calabrese into seed trays in my mini greenhouse. I put them in last week, nothing sprouted as yet mind, it did say from January on the back of the seed packet but I suppose the timing differs depending on what variety you are growing.

yes you can sow your summer cabbage/caulis/calabrese now undercover,they dont need a lot of heat mine are in a cold greenhouse and have all came up,i sown them 2/3 weeks ago

Is red cabbage treated as summer or winter cabbage, horticulturally speaking? Should these be sown soon, too (i.e. when my seeds arrive...)

I always think of eating it during the winter season but I guess that isn't really relevant!

I have sown the first and second lot, first about 4 weeks ago and the second last week, all seem to be doing well (not that the second lot have shown their faces yet! But it'll be a good while before they go outside, haven't even dug the ground for them yet!!
