As fall rolls in, I'm already hatching my plans for next spring. I usually transplant 2" soil block-grown brassica seedlings into the garden when conditions are kind of borderline - you could get a touch of frost, biting wind, and marauding hordes of slugs. So some make it, some don't. The little ones are more vulnerable than bigger plants to all those scourges. So I'm thinking for next year to actually start them sooner indoors, pot them up to 4" cube pots (cut off 1/2 gallon
milk cartons) indoors, and then plant them out under the same borderline conditions as before, only now the plants are bigger and stronger. Also, this
should get me a crop sooner!
What do people think?
