Is it to late to sow  Ormskirk (I) Cabbage (Savoy).  Would I be best sowing in a greenhouse or just direct in the soil

You can give it a go, but you are about 2 months late.

Don't sow brassicas in the greenhouse, they are not heat tolerant.

For the best start, I'd sow them in modules outside, then transplant to 3" pots before moving to their final postions when about 6" tall.

You are at least four weeks late to plant them but you don't have much to lose by giving it a try and hoping for good weather.  Personally I would start them off in the greenhouse to get a faster start, then plant out.

The spring cabbage I sowed outside in mid-June only took 6 days to germinate, it's now ready for potting up.

I personally don't like starting brassicas in a warm greenhouse as they tend to grow weak, but you pays your money!

Have a look at invest on some cabbages from your local nursery, that way you can have them in the ground this weekend
