After yesterdays light rain it was good to be able to get onto the plot and actually get some plants out of the greenhouse and into the ground.
The module sown Red cabbage (rodeo F1) and cauliflower (lateman) went into raised beds with firmed soil and were covered with netting supported on 22mm blue water pipe to keep the pigeons off, they can look but not touch.
I use 2" pots, forty to a tray to bring on brassicas and as the root formation shows, they do really well and make good root growth ready for planting out. The pots are much better than the plastic module trays as I find that I just cannot release the plant without disturbing the rootball using them.
