Hi - it sounds as if it's too cold for them to be planted out. Did you harden them off before planting out? A lot of the garden centre veg plants are sown early in greenhouses and look great when you buy them but it depends on the variety as to when the plants should be put into their final planting space.
. dorcas I did harden them off .Cold is a possibility.The weather has been up and down and very windy Thanks for your feedback barbara
Dorcas I think I have found the culprit causing blindness to my brassicas the swede migde it lays its larvae on the stalk
