  • what to do with my brassica seedlings?

    i've planted a load of brassicas (purple sprouting broccoli, brussels, calabrese) seeds in cells and started them off in the greenhouse. they've sprouted nicely, but now i dont know what to do with them - should i pot them on, should i start hardening off (they've been in the greenhouse the whole time so far), when do i plant them out???
    any advice, gratefully received

    take them out of the greenhouse, they dont need extra heat, pot them on or put them into a seed bed, plant them out when they're 4-6 inches big, protect them from marauding butterflies with netting. Feed them some notrogen rich stuff every now and again..

    someone with more experience will be along shortly

        What's the earliest that Cabbage Whites appear? Might even have to net them at the "nursery" stage ...
