Forgot to plant out my spring cabbage:o . Am I too late? can I start it off in the greenhouse(plastic tent style) or will I just bung it out and see what happens?

    Yes, but everything is worth a try, I am a great believer in experimentation, at the very least you will learn.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    I'm putting mine in this weekend.

    I think last years didn't go in until November. I guess it depends on how far north you are. My allotment's quite sheltered so I think I can get away with it. Just.

    We were just wondering what we can plant in our containers now they're empty - might have a go at spring cabbage.

    Like someone else has said try and see.

    Really they need to put on some growth before the daylight hours are reduced. However we would only need a few weeks of mild weather and they would put on some good growth.

    You could still plant winter onion sets and garlic, winter spring onions
    Kind Regards
