sprouts(spoilt for choice)

hi greeniies,can any of you experienced gardeners give me some advice on the best variety of sprouts to grow?theres that many on the market,hybrids and the like.i'm sure you have all tried and tested a few varieties .there must be one or two that have come out tops!i have quite a heavy clay soil on my lotty.any recomms?

thanks for that DD.yes got 2 lots in, eavsham special & bedford fill basket.no idea how they will turn out.its my first season of trying to grow them properly.are those too you suggested hybrids? and when do you start from seed and then plant out?

"yes got 2 lots in, eavsham special & bedford fill basket."

I bought plants of Beford Fillbasket from garden centre last year (all projects were behind hand, so no seed sown ), I thought they were very good so have grown them from seed this year.

Did a trial last year,regret i have lost the notes of all that i tried, but the one i am going with this year is Maximus.
At this stage they are looking very good indeed.

I'm growing F1 Carlton Leeks next year. I have grown Mussleburgh for as along as I can remember, but after much deliberation I am changing to Carlton.

The fact that a pack of Carlton seeds came free with John's book has completely swayed me
