Well today i decided it was time to thin out my cabbages might of been a little late in doing so?

Followed the link, but can't find your lottie pics. How close together were your plants, how big, etc.

Sorry BFW, I could see your lottie - very nice - but not you cabbages. Can you try posting on here.

Sorry, I had a quick look at your blog, couldn't find any pictures of seedlings. You'll need to use a photo resizer to post your photos on this forum. Here's the one I use: Free Online Picture Editor - Crop and Resize photos, images, or pictures online for FREE!

Hopefully they will have picked up overnight????
It may just have been the stress of being thinned out.
Did you thin out and then transplant some, or just thin out and throw away the spares??
If it's the latter then next time it might be worth cutting the tops off of those you'd normally pull and chuck out.That way those left behind don't have their roots disturbed.
If it's the former, then maybe the roots dried out a bit in this hot weather??? Some of them should survive with a bit of extra watering.

Let us know how they get on.....fingers crossed for you!

Thanks for that twosheds resized and added the pic.........
Yes Nicos i thinned them out i dug out the whole plants 3 of them saved the strongest and replanted and threw out the weak but after about half hour of doing so they all looked like that? I was thinking about cutting the weak at the base of the plant and just keeping the strongest ( that way iam not disturbing the root system?) But it was warm yesterday afternoon i will be off to the lottie shortly and hopefully they have picked up.
Let you know

thanks all....Lee

I tend to agree with Nicos, I think they are just stressed after being pulled out of the garden. They should be alright after a couple of days.
