the dilly dalliers in my tube system

this doesn't belong with mustard but its there as a comparison. Brassica's thriving, the others not, although they are said to be winter vegetables by most online sources. The only thing excusing the dilly dalliers is that they were sown much later. The brassicas were sown before winter hit hard.

The literature said this was a great time when least shock occurs, and I wonder if this is really true. I also lost a lot of good seedlings due to transplant damage as they are so fragile at this stage.
