    Hi

    Novice planter here!

    I've sown Cabbage from seed, in trays, five seeds in each section as the section's seemed big enough.

    I was wondering if anyone could please suggest how to plant them out in the ground.
    I'm worried about the roots getting intertwined too much but maybe they're too small to plant out yet.

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Yes they are too small yet. When they have two real leaves rather than the seed leaves which are the first two that open, lift them and plant into deeper trays or separate pots. I'd use a mix of soil and compost. When the plants are about 3 -5 inches high plant them in the ground, water well and put a net over to keep off butterflies and birds.
