Red cabbage

I always start mine in modules :?

mainly for space issues rather than frost, but I find they are also less prone to pest damage this way.

I pot on and pot on until the perfect spot opens up for them (usually in a mixed border amongst the flowers)

Depends if you have pigeons around, or where your girls free-range!

 

We've had some hard frosts lately, so if you can keep them inside a bit longer in a position that gets plenty of light, that would be ideal. Then when they are a bit bigger, start hardening them off by putting them out in the day and bringing them in at night. If you have some horticultural fleece they could go outside under that a bit earlier, but if not, you should probably put them under chicken wire or bird netting - and in either case, keep an eye out for the first cabbage white butterflies and use crushed eggshells to keep the slugs at bay as well!
