    Brassicas really don't need a greenhouse. Harden them off gradually and leave outside in a shelterd spot and they will get stronger.
    Happy Gardening,

          Just planted 6 Trafalgar brussel sprouts outside today. Built a protective surround out of canes and netting to keep the pigeons off. They've been languishing in a cold frame without a cover for about 3 weeks and were starting to get pot bound. They should romp away now they are in there final position!

            They really don't need protection from the weather but they will from pigeons, cabbage white caterpillars and much more!
