Title: Red Sprouting Broccoli
Post by: Fat Andy on April 29, 2009, 20:03:48
I've been sent some seeds by a lovely friend and I'm told that they are Red Sprouting Broccoli.

I've only heard of the purple varieties (none of which I've ever grown before).  The seeds came to me in a plain brown packet so I have no idea of the planting instructions.

Any advice or assistance greatly appreciated !

I've never grown a red variety but assume it would be similar to the purple in needs.

Suggest sowing some seed in a small pot, transplant to seed trays then plant out when large enough.
