There is so much pest pressure (Slugs, Cabbage moth and Aphids) on all my brassicas and I refuse to spray my food so I've opted out of most of the brassica family. I still grow some cabbage and kale. I start the seed for the Purple Sprouting Broccoli in June or July and plant them out by September. They overwinter and the harvest is ready in March before all the pest can get to it. And it's beautiful to look at. I toss them in olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper then roast in the oven.

The plant itself grew just fine, several of them grew to the size of the rest of my kale plants. My only problem is that they never sprouted! From spring through to winter now those plants have only produced leaves. Giving them another go in 2025 and hopefully I'll be able to update this with a better score.

When I saw this I just knew that I had to add it to my order! I will definitely be planting this in the fall.
Thank you Luke and all that work at MI Gardener. I just love all of your seeds and my husband and I watch all of your videos and we have learned so much from you. 😊👍Keep growing! ❤️
