  • Protect cabbage plants

    I have some cabbage plants ready for planting, but will be away from home for a few days, so think I will need to plant them before going away, I have fleece, enviromesh and a Sun tunnel which is basically a large polycarbonate closed cloch with air vents, the veg. bed gets full Sun (when it shines) the greenhouse can reach 30c. if the doors don't get opened,so what would you use to protect the plants
    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

    Cabbages don't like to be too hot and should tolerate mild frosts, so I would use the enviromesh.

        Take them with you! They're entitled to a few days away, just as much as you are ............and, if they're with you, you won't have to worry whether they're OK.

          You're early, I only sowed my summer cabbages yesterday, probably a month before I will be planting out, I know it's warmer over on the west side, but we might still get some more snow yet.

            With what Penellype and Greenleaves have said I think I will go with a enviromesh tunnel with a fleece cover

            It's our anniversary and they are too young to be part of the celebration of it

            I like to get my cabbage plants in early as if there is any club root present the plants will be well enough developed before they get effected by it. Also I'm not sure it any warmer thies side ad we don't get as much Sun in this area

              They're cabbages, not wallflowers
              Happy Anniversary
