Is this Calabrese or Purple Sprouting?
« on: December 23, 2015, 22:23 »
This was sold to me as Calabrese Kabuki F1, which is apparently supposed to look like the tight headed green stuff in one of the pictures attached.  However what has grown looks entirely different - please see the purple type sproutings in the two other pics attached.

Have I been sold some sort of purple sprouting instead?  What do you think? ???

PS Merry Christmas everyone!  :D :D :D

Looks like your supplier got their seeds/plants muddled. All you can do is complain so at least they are aware.

The purple looks good.

Probably yes, but it will produce over a long period and give you a lot of "broccilli" !

One (just one) of my large psb plants looks like that. The others are producing most (tiny) sprouts down the stalk.

It seems that quite a few seed suppliers have got their seeds mixed up this year. Not good enough Quality Control methinks.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
