last year i lost nearly all my brassicas because i stupidly left them in the greenhouse too long,,,,when should i get them out the greenhouse they are very small seedlings at the minute should i leave them until i pot them on or get them out now

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

i have put them outside in my plastic mini greenhouse out of the sun ,,is this a better place for them ??

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!

thanks,,dont have to worry about the latter as we have built netted frames to go on to our beds down the lottie of course they wont stop the slugs and snails
