I would put hay under them so the leaves don't touch the ground & fleece over that should be all they need just a little tlc from the harsh elements.

Ive dont this with all my Brassicas past 2 and done well

I grown spring cabbage Hero for several years now. The only precaution I take is to make sure the are planted very firmly to prevent frost getting down the stem.

I have seen them covered with snow but they always seem to bounce back. Nice tasting and make great spring greens. I seem to remember someone telling me a frost improves the taste.

I plant and forget - apart from netting to keep the pigeons off them
