Sow now and July would be right to harvest although it says autumn. As with most brassiccas plant very firmly indeed and a liquid fertiliser is advised. Good luck. Baz |

TIA There are now varieties of purple sprouting broccoli that will produce shoots in the same year without having to overwinter. I haven't tried any myself (yet) so can't say if the taste is as good or not. Sutton's have one in their seed list: http://tinyurl.com/72b2mux and no doubt the other main companies have similar. -- Sue |
