Growing Cabbages

by beamer <klkbloke@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 15, 2008 at 05:15 AM

Hi All,

This is my first post as a veggie gardener! We have started our first
veggie plot this year and have sown some cabbage seeds outside (as per
instructions on packet).

Unlike everything else we have planted, we only have a few (~6 from
one entire packet) miniscule seedlings. Do I need to be concerned or
are they just slow to get going? A couple of these 5 mm high seedlings
seem to have burnt edges to their leaves. They were planted a few
weeks ago.

Every other seed sown at the same time, are probably 1.5" to 4" high.

Veggie patch was lawn up until late last year. Removed turf and dug in
multipurpose compost. Has sun for most of the day.Sandy soil. I'm in
sunny(?) Dorset.


Other things planted which are doing far better include Rhubarb,
Asparagus, tomatoes, basil, runner beans, sweetcorn, beetroot, swede.
The plot isn't big (at all!) but I wanted to try a wider variety to
see what would do well.

All comments welcome.
