    Hello

    I planted my red cabbage plants just before the monsoon and the recent storm in South Wales and many have damaged stems. I don’t think they’ll recover. Is it too late to sow new plants?

    Many thanks

     Yes it is too late, they will not have time to make good hearts. Sorry for you there. maybe somebody has some plants? Put fleece on new plantings?

    You can still sow savoy cabbage, January King and Tundra. It is a strange season and unlike any recent ones, more winds forecast for Thursday.
