Tried it?

Supersprout    Like the sound of the idea for old seeds.  I always say nothing ventured ...........  I am en eternal optimist though  :)  I bet I have loads of stuff and as my Dobies Brassica collection isn't coming I have to make alterntive arrangements so this could be it  :)

Go for it Wardy, will give a little bit more interest through the winter months too!

Derekthefox :D

Derek - not quite sure if I can cope with your new avatar!

Sprout - good idea. Might just give that a try.

This is my Friday special Aqui, it has been on a few times, almost worn out now. You could always just scroll me off the screen  ;D

I must've missed it before or wiped it from my fragile little mind!

I'm growing deB smallish so that it doesn't go seedy.

Tim    I thought I'd try a different aub being as I only got one off my Moneymaker  :(  Would you recommend the De Barbentane?  I fancied it as it says it's ok for growing outdoors

[tim]

Again, no expert. But as it says so, worth a try. But always with some protection if you can.

Me? The only ones I have grown outdoors have been Macchiaw - my long purple ones. But they are not now available, so I would risk Thai Long Green - WITH ADVICE?

[Derekthefox]

I must definitely be more adventurous with the aubergines next year, they are well appreciated in our house, we could never have too many ... so outdoor varieties will be an absolute winner !

Derekthefox :D

Thanks Tim
