When glasshouse seedlings are about 8cm (3”) tall, prick off into trays 5cm (2”) apart Harden off as soon as possible for planting in the growing site 45cm (15”) apart in April. Thin outdoor sowings to 10cm (4”) apart and transplant when about 15cm (6”) tall.

HANDY TIP

Never plant cabbages in the ground containing fresh manure, as this encourages a mass of leaf growth with no heart.
