Set cabbage (greyhound, Primo II and Fuego F1), cauli (all year round), calabrese and sprouts (can't remeber variety) in module trays last night and placed in unheated greenhouse.

I was late sowing last year and got a very poor crop  :(, hope i've not over compensated  :unsure:.

Now have Greyhound cabbage, all year round cauli, Ironman calabrese and PakChoi on the go, stopped growing sprouts as they just don't want to grow on my plot  >:( tried everything as have three other allotment holders, it has become a competion now to see who will be the first to get propper bullets.
This year I am growing Brukale (sprout/ Kale cross) but again I will give it mid April for them to be sown.

on the subject of brassicas did anyone see the program this week called the great British food revival part of the prog was devoted to cauliflowers the hairy bikers where in a field of cauliflowers quite a large field near Boston Lincs

the cauliflowers looked that perfect lovely white curds with long green leaves may be if i could grow cauliflowers like that i would be a happy man they the farmer/grower never told us  the variety they where growing  :(

Growster, the plastic is perishing & coming away from the zip. Seriously need a new cover if only I could find one.

Mash, Wilkos sell the covers for some types of mini greenhouse. If you have one local it's worth a look.

I bought one from wilkos last week, the frame and cover for £11.00 the same thing in the local garden center is £35.00 very pleased with it.

Today I have planted my greyhound cabbages and will probably do some sprouting later on :)
