I've not sown mine yet!

I'm holding back a bit on last year as half the purples bolted in the summer. The white ones were fine.

We're still only part way through the sowing period. (April/May).
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Okay have decided about the peas (see my other thread) they are a no goer. Brocolli I am trying to see if I can find either, Mammoth or Samson online, I did try to find Covert but got a blank. So this sorts out my first two rows in my 11' x 6' plot. I shall take a pic tomorrow if I can to give you some idea of the layout. I intend to have 3 in one row of one the types mentioned plus 2 or 3 scattered in other places plus another row of maybe 4 Romanesco just coz I love the taste. I shall now start another thread about carrots. If anyone one is getting tired of me either let me know or bog off somewhere else, tee hee, lol :lol: :lol: :lol:

MW have you tried Brunswick Organic Nursery out at Bishopthorpe?  They sell loads of veg plants.  I know they have a list of what they sell and when, might be worth a google or a phone call.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
