Ruud, I am so sorry I thought I had sent you a message already, yes thank you the other  seeds  you sent arrived promptly and have just been sown. Please accept my apologies for being so thoughtless and not letting you know.Sorry.

Cambourne, yes I specifically just want Nine Star Broc and Pentland Brig. I cannot find a source here for the fiorst one at all and so far a source fro the PB but they don'r send to Canada from the US.

There are a couple of UK places that have them but again they won't ship to Canada..

I could be out of luck here.

Thank you Chris, I appreciate the thought, Ellen has posted it and I am expecting it any day. I think it has dropped off too. I did try the last of my seeds but no germination although I did get germination on all the sprouting broc from the same year. I have since read that the seeds don't seem to be viable as long as most brassica seeds though.
