What veg dont like being transplanted?

[Sue]

What with a bad back and poor eyesight I find it hard to sow straight into the ground - can't see what I'm doing so I grow everything in modules of various types, long tubes, little blocks, pots etc. Have done the dreaded p**s**p in long grow tubes and easy to transplant, measure the planting hole is the right depth, carefully cut off tube and insert into hole and gently firm in.
Carrots I sow direct but then I grow them in tubs and can see them!
Relieved to hear I'm not the only one suffering from fox damage. My raised bed of broad beans is covered with fleece and that now has muddy footprints up one side and down the other and a nice great tear in what was a new piece of fleece. It's getting so bad I can't have any uncovered growing area at all they've even dug a great big hole in my chive planter and that was the bee's treat - half of which has now been uprooted.

My allotment neighbour whose house backs on to the allotment - and how lucky is that - said that when it last snowed she'd looked out of her window and seen seven of them playing in the garden.

Sheesh!! Cheers sewer rat! Thats pretty exhaustive but very very informative! I was gonna start off my parsnips in loo rolls and then transplant them as i've been told they've got a lousy germination rate.

You may have done them by now Victoria, but I started mine off on damp kitchen roll inside a plastic bag, and they germinated in just over a week! I was gobsmacked, as I was expecting to have to wait ages. I've now put them into paper pots, and they're all doing really well (over 70 of them). I sowed Gladiator F1 btw.

Not much to add to above, but sweetcorn doesn't like being disturbed too much - I tend to prefer root trainers/similar for that too.

I was going to say sweetcorn. We have been saving toilet rolls for this very purpose. We just dig a little hole and drop it into the ground when they have germinated.

Ive sown the brussels, fennel, cabbage and cauli in modules now. 2 or 3 seeds per module and I will pinch out the weakest.

Still haven't attempted the parsnips but am hoping that hubby will help me make paper pot this weekend!!

Will germinate them in the bag on kitchen roll as advised by Pipscariad - Sounds like a great idea!

Thanks for all your advice everyone!!
