Can I move my nasturtiums and spring cabbage?

If the cabbages are fine why would you want to dig them up Peter? The nasturtiums look small enough that if you dig them them up with a trowel to get a good plug of soil that means there is minimal root disturbance and plant straight away they should be okay. I've certainly moved self-seeded seedlings at about that size okay. Good soil isn't necessarily bad for nasturtiums it's just that you might get more leaves than flowers.

Hi Buzzbee, Thanks for that. Only a few of my cabbages are OK though - the 5 or 6 patches of green on the left about the size of thistles are meant to be cabbages too! Not happy veg.

Ah, I see the problem! Advice on the nasturtiums still stands, but you'll need to wait for someone more knowledgeable to advise you on the cabbage. We grew various brassicas disastrously a couple of years ago in containers - this year is the first of us having the courage to try again with some Brussel Sprouts and Calabrese. Good luck with your cabbages.

Thanks Buzzbee,
I think I'll move them. If they die at least it will be quick. At the moment that's looks like their fate anyway so I'm not losing anything :o)
