    Hi boebrummie,

    I have sown some heirloom Brussels sprouts 'Evesham special' just in the normal way and got loads of young plants ready to plant into my allotment.

    Also, organically sourced Broccoli ' Waltham' sown in the tha same way but not got so many of those, but enough.

    I got them from Chiltern Seeds who I find produce very good quility seeds.

    I can spare a few seeds of both if you are interested?

    Stingo
