what is the best way to transplant cabbage ect into small pot mine dont seem to grow into larger plants
Start cabbage seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last spring frost.
Harden off plants over the course of a week. To prepare soil, till in aged manure or compost.
Transplant outdoors 2 to 3 weeks before the last expected frost date. Choose a cloudy afternoon.
Plant 12 to 24 inches apart in rows, depending on size of head desired. The closer you plant, the smaller the heads.
Mulch thickly to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

I have planted the above vegetables quite a while ago including green cabbages, red cabbage, beetroot and celery. I planted in an area where they get sun and covered it all with netting. Now the leaves of the cabbages are quite big but no heads, the same with the red cabbage. The celery is growing but inside some of them are a sort of bug and looks a bit like honeycomb. The beetroot is quite small and some are really small. I'm getting quite frustrated with growing my own vegs and I am just about to give up. Can you help. Thanks Shirley

My garden is in an area where the soil has a lot of insects. Ants and termites especially. It is in a warm tropical area. Usually the recommendation I get is to spray the soil before planting so that insects do not eat the roots. Or when the plants grow, like cabbage and lettuce, the insect simply would not let them grow completely. I am not comfortable with all the chemicals in the soil. Any alternative ideas?
Removal of any mulch should help with a termite issue.

Just wondered what is causing this damage to my cabbages? It also happened last year with my sprouts and swede leaves.
It's possibly "white spot fungus". This article may help you:

Why is this happening to my cabbage. And is this cabbage moth poop?
It appears to be insect damage, lead to fungal infection. It would be hard to say if it were a moth, or some other insect, but it was definitely an insect.
The best treatment from here will be an insecticide. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/organic/natural-home-pesticides-organic-garden-pest-control.htm

We plan to dig up some plants that live nearby in a wet shady spot and would like to enter them as part of a garden club display in the Newport (RI) Flower Show, which is in late June. The plants are quite small now - about 6"-8". This is the kind of skunk cabbage that has unrolls a dark purple swirl.
The flower emerges in early spring, followed by the leaves. I couldn't find a source that said how long the leaves stayed green, but I think it would probably make it to your plant show.
Be aware it has medium poison attributes.
