Regarding cauli, calabrese & brussels
« on: June 07, 2009, 17:46 »
I have some of the above seeds.  On the packets it says that it is still Ok to sow in Jun (for harvest until first frosts).  Bearing in mind that I am 47° Latitude, do you think I am still OK to start these from seed?

Why don't you try just a few of each this year to see how they do.
Are your frosts earlier or later than ours and how hot are your summers? Nosey aren't I :)

Summer average temps are up 26°C by Jul/Aug and Average lows are freezing/-2°C Jan/Feb.  Having said that, last summer we had days of 39°C and the winter went on forever, with weeks of -5°C highs.

Frosts tend to start quite late, and snow is classed as early if it falls before Jan (two years ago I was out and about on my horse in a Tshirt in October... not last year though, brr!)

I agree with Lesley, brassica seed is so cheap it`s worth the gamble. :D
