OK I have a bit of a dilemma and I'm unsure what to do.
Got 15 early brassica plants for this year which came in the post from some offer I forgot about last year which I'm potting on to put in the greenhouse before putting into their final growing place.
I already have a load of brassicas in the plot from last year, early purple sprouting broccoli which are starting to show heads for cropping and quite a few cabbage plants and purple kale which I started growing too late and didn't do anything. The cabbages and kale have survived the winter, look great and look like they are starting to come into life and grow bigger at last.
Do I plant these new brassicas in the same bed or into a new area and move the cabbages and kale from the old bed into the new location as I like to rotate my crops. We don't have a problem with club root or cabbage root fly (he says touching wood) in our allotments but I'm worried if I move these cabbage plants to a new prepared bed they will do nothing or die. What do people think?
