Title: Miranda calabrese
Post by: Jayb on June 09, 2012, 11:13:23
Has anyone tried this variety http://www.nickys-nursery.co.uk/garden-shop/seeds/vegetable-seed/c/calabrese-miranda-av-50-seeds

I bought some seeds recently to try, Loved the colour of the heads. It sounds like they will be fairly tall, I was wondering about taste and if they give lots of side shoots? Also wondered if they are a broccoli x calabrese?

It's purple, not that that colour influences anything I buy ;D. It looks lovely Jayb.

Hi Jeannine. I don't know, they vanished around the time I asked Dad for extra PM space. I was expecting lots of Christmas messages for a rather nice lady who wasnt around at the time, I was't disappointed ;D.

Jayb I found seeds somewhere it said they do make side shoots. It didn't say if there were lots though.

Thanks GJ, I think I'll sow a few next week. I loved the look too Digeroo  :)
I got mine form Moles, a decent amount of seeds so spares here if you want to try some.
