Sutton's are selling  Candid Charm plants if you are interested.  I have sent for some as I didn't get round to sowing any seeds this year.

I know it is not too late to plant seeds but if shirlton wants Candid Charm  this would be one way of getting them.  They are suppose to be very good.
Only trying to help.

I have looked at Suttons catalogue that I got the other day and they do Carlton Cauli but cannot see Candid charm

I found them on their site on-line.  I was looking for some pellets pots and they came up as a side ad. and as I have heard they are very good I sent for some.  Not arrived yet.  If you google Suttons seeds I think you will find them.  The no. on the invoice which arrived with the pots is 206721 and delivery will be in late April.  Hope this helps.

In case no one has any to swap, Dobies have Candid Charm cauli seed:

http://www.dobies.co.uk/Shop/Vegetable+Seeds/Cauliflower+Candid+Charm+Seeds+434205.htm

Can't help you myself, but I can happily send you some Snow Crown seed if you'd like to grow some of those... It's nice fresh seed, bought this year.
Anyway, just fling me a PM if you'd like some as a 'meanwhile' option.

Fingers crossed that someone else will spot this who is growing Candid Charm.
