Default Advice on planting out?

I was planning this weekend to plant out my brassica bed as all of the plants are now at least 4 in tall and quite sturdy. I have cabbages already out and broccoli and sprouts to go in.
What do you think the chances are of a late frost now? Do you think fleece protection would be enough?
I am seriously running out of pots and space!

Don't know where abouts you are in the world Mel. I would plant them out if your that stuck for room. Can you put something like some large water bottles over them to act as cloches for a couple of weeks? if we do get a late frost I don't think it will be a hard one so fleece should be OK. You can alwasy but it over double if you have enough
