I must admit to the position being a bit shaded but it was the only available spot at the time. I will bring them to the oposite end of the bed into the sunnier spot and dump the leeks in their place.
I only have about 6 suare meters of raised beds

Re: Leggy cabbages falling over
I raised the plant from seed in trays , transplanting at 5 leaves into 3inch pots before planting out at 5/6 inches tall. I planted just a little deeper than the pot after turning out. they then went on to grow very tall before falling and raising their heads to try and grow on.
Does that make sense?

Leggy cabbages falling over
Last year virtually all my cabbages grew very spindly and fell over.
I am planning to grow the same again and need advice on how to avoid it and correct it

Fleece quality
Last year I used a fleece for the first time. I was a little disappointed as it was in shreds within weeks.
I got mine from B&Q
Has anybody had the same problem with their fleece?
Are there different grades of fleece that I can use and where to get it?

old and used compost
I have a lot of once used peat free general compost that was used last year to grow potatoes in containers, and a tomato grow bag that I grew two pepper plants in. My question is: a.Is there another crop that I can plant in the old peat free compost used for the potatoes? b.What else could I grow in...
