The greenhouse that I started the seeds in stays 55 degrees all night and in the 70's during the day. If I were to transplant the cabbages without giving them some shelter for a few days it would be a shock to the plant. Earlier this week I put the plants in the cold frame to reduce the shock and to harden them off.
Yesterday I transplanted a few cabbages under some floating row cover. I decided to suspend the floating row cover over the transplants with a frame work of small metal hoops and bailing twine. I thought this would help keep the beating rains from smothering the plants under the weight of wet fabric. I have a supply of compost this spring so I have been able to top dress each bed as I plant them.
