as my cabbages etc are now maturing nicely is it safe to remove the netting covering the plants or are they still at risk?
Is there anything I can buy to protect the cabbages and brocolli leaves being eaten by pigeons?
I notice this year in particular that there is a scarcity of cabbage plants coming through for planting in the traditional method (i.e say bundles of 100 plants ready for sowing) What is the reason and when were these plants originally planted to be ready for Spring.

winter , summer etcthe method of when to sow and plant each type confuses me ie sow winter in spring etc
I have trawled through the web looking for York Cabbage seeds - the family favourite. We usually buy the young plants, but this year I was hoping to grow from seed, and save seed for following years. Is it possible to buy York Cabbage seeds, and where might I find them?
