# 2438Prior to pulling, then sadly, adding to compost. Should I give up on brassicas?

# 2384The local snails have found the cabbages, but hopefully their 'hearts' are still okay.

# 2315

# 2257I didn't have the time to give them any protection. Will they escape the attention of birds and beasts?

# 2254

# 2246Time to think about transplanting those seedlings that need.

# 2221A lesson learnt. Don't mulch a seedbed with compost that's had ants in it as birds just love their eggs! It took me ages to un-bury the majority of the seedlings :)

# 2206Taken halfway through mulching with a 4cm layer of garden compost..

# 2205.. and then again when finished and watered in.

# 2199Taken halfway through their second thinning. I'm glad it's harder to spot which side is which this time!

# 2178Taken halfway through thinning. I sowed them all way too thickly (My only excuse being I was worried over the age of the seed).

# 2163Sowed 1 row of lettuce 'Little Gem', 2 rows cabbage 'Greyhound' (Not sure why I sowed these as re-reading the packet they should be sown Feb - April, doh!), 1 row cabbage 'Red Drumhead', 1 row lettuce 'Marvel of Four Seasons', 2 rows Kohl Rabi 'Green Delicacy' and 1 row radish 'French Breakfast'.
