Between sow, and sow out? just checked the veg planner to answer my previous post, (forgot I had bookmarked it) and for cabbage it says 'sow out' but I don't know what that means. should I start them off indoors?

sow out means in the garden, .......and sow means under cover(i presume)

though i've started everything off indoors, they seem to get going loads quicker.

Sow out? Never come across that before. I always start plants off indoors, otherwise the slugs get them.

it says it on the back of some seed packets, regarding what time of year you should plant them and usually has a little diagram with different colours on it

Most brassicas should be sown outdoors in seed beds.I assume that's what it means.

"sow out"

Just to be sure: that isn't "plant out" is it? In which case "sow" in pots etc. then "plant out" some time later.

When I was aboy back in the.......60's you could only buy brassicas loose ie;they were kept in buckets of water.They were grown in the ground then pulled and sold on,none of this growing in modules.
When you planted them they would wilt for a couple of days then they would be fine!

Sow refers to seeds
Plant refers to ... well, plants
