Too late for planting out spring cabbage?
« on: October 31, 2010, 16:26 »
Business has taken me away from the garden recently. I really want to plant out some spring cabbage this coming weekend (first week in November). Is it too late? Would a cloche help?

Mine have only been in for about a fortnight, but i'm in the south.

Can you alter your profile to show a location, it makes all the difference to planting dates in answers like this :)

My guess is that they will survive the Winter but not be ready as Spring greens or hearted cabbages until early Summer.

If you have the plants, put them in and see what they look like in March.

You might be just as well starting a quick maturing variety such as Hispi or Greyhound very early in the Spring.

If you've got them - stick them in I would say.

Nothing ventured nothing gained......... after all they wouldn't make much of a meal as they are would they?  ::)
