Default I hate to say it, but another unproductive year.

Brassicas have wilted. ALL of them. I don't think it is cabbage root
fly because I have taken precautions, such as collars around them.
No Brussels sprouts this year, again.

Is there still time to have another go at it this year?


Have you got a proper old nursery near you that grows veg plants? When
I have a failure, savoys and winter cabage this year we go and buy the
plants. Our local one does strips of 12 for £1.50 so it's hardly worth
doing it yourself anyway considering the cost of seed etc..


Yes we do. But I wonder if its too late now?
I know what you mean, plants v seed. I like to grow from seed, it interests
me, don't know why.
I will buy some plants and see how it goes.

Thanks, Bob
