Well, I meant to ask what plant a scedual was. :lol:

Yes, it's about time to sow. I can't see why they would not do OK there, not many named, usually just come as early - end winter- or late - late spring - purple  or white sprouting broccoli.

Giving it a second thought, Chrissie, we start to sow them nowish - I've never grown them in Greece - but probably because of the the long hot summer you might wait for a month or so, really. :wink:
