Too late to sow cabbages for spring greens?
« on: September 05, 2010, 09:52 »
Hi,

Having had a hectic August I didn't get chance to sow any cabbages to over winter.  Have I missed the boat on this or if I get cracking on it this week will they grow okay?  If so, can anyone recommend any varieties?

Thanks.

You're a little on the late side, mine were sown in July and are in situ. You may just get away with it, but if I were you, I'd be looking for plants.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

I'm doing mine today and hoping for the best ;)
I've not got seed box handy....but I think it's Durham Early :)
in light of previous post I checked and it is and you can sow them in august, so we're only a few days late :lol:
