When should I put out transplants of broccoli, cabbage, spinach etc in zone 7B? I am overwintering some stuff but want to have a larger Spring garden than I have had in the past.

Thanks

I start the brassicas in a cold frame around February 1, Transplant afetr the spring equinox. You may be a shade cooler and could maybe start a week or so later. I direct sow spinach around the first of March.

Do you do Collards or mustards in the spring?

No, altho sometimes I will sow a small amount of mustard-spinach (Savannah or Tendergreen) in the spring. Collards, Turnips, traditional mustard, rutabagas, are a fall/winter crop for me.
