Pak Choi! Is Not A War Cry: Chinese Cabbage, Greens & Raab Transplants

Click here to Tweet The Rusted Garden and This Article

I planted 'Black' kale, 'Vates' kale, 'Pak Choi' cabbage, broccoli raab, arugula and 'Broad London' leeks in cells. They should go into the ground as I write but I am holding them a few more days till the 30 degree nights are gone. These pictures are from about 5 days ago.

You can see I do over plant the cells. You can gently break them up, if you are careful not to damage the roots.  Or just pinch off the weakest plants and plant the plug with one plant per hole. The kales will get large as will all these plants. Make sure you only put 1 plant per hole, I know its tempting to plant more.

The transplants are a good size. I have been putting them out in the sun over the last weeks.  A good way to deal with acclimating or 'hardening off' your transplants is to give them sun while in the cells. A combination of grow-lights and afternoon sun makes for strong plants that can go right in the garden when they are ready.
