I wrote here the other day and mentioned that I have sown all of my
brassicas and was waiting to prick them out eventually as and when they
have 2 or 3 decent leaves.
Talking to a couple of lads(newbies) on the allotment this morning and
their sowings at the Easter weekend have yet to show. So they have bought
plug plants as a precaution. 25 Evesham Special brussels sprouts £1.99 and
20 cabbage of unknown variety £1.99. The guy who sells them is going to be
at our local market on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and visits our site
every Saturday morning. So I am getting some as well.
The newbies only know this because the vendor turned up on Saturday morning
when they were there, nobody told them that he visits. A fortunate chance
meeting.


I must admit we now use a local "proper" old nursery for a number of plants.
Not plug plants but they grow all sorts of veg from seed and if maybe you
only want a few of one variety, like summer cabbage for example, they grow a
number of varieties of most things. Also very useful if you have a
germination disaster as we did with one of the Brussels Sprout varieties
last year.
