Beneforte seeds???????

I was in M & S last week buying my Christmas cake & suddenly remembered about the Beneforte broccoli. At £1.99 for a small pack I decided to leave it on the shelf but wondered if anyone on A4A knew if the seeds are available yet.

I doubt they will be availabe for home growers for long while yet...if ever.. http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/news/health/2011/111123-f-super-broccoli.aspx

There is so much work gone to get that variety that unless the sales slow down and they have to make money other way, I believe we just have to dream on...unless...somebody somewhere work for the farmer who grows it and is able to..errr...borrow few seed..and somebody else then grow those seeds and produce some more seeds..  ...and start their own 'black market' seed distribution

Just as I thought Goodlife but worth a try.
