Does anybody know where I can buy some Baby Savoy cabbage seeds from? Can't find them anywhere! Thanks!

hi 5 rod here
have look on
www.molesseeds.co.uk
I know they sell lots of  savoys cabbage
hope this helps

hiya, anne, welcome to the site, can't say I've ever heard of them but you live and learn  ;D

Don't you just grow normal ones too close & harvest early? Praps not, but I have that in my head... You'll be able to feed all your friends & their friends too for quite a while if you get the minimum amount of seeds from Moles!

Like Ollie says space them closer than usual and harvest when cricket ball size, I did it last year by mistake  ??? so I know it works.  ;D ;D ;D

Suttons do a small variety called Protovoy. I grew them last year and they were very tasty, but its best only to sow a few at a time as once they are ready to eat they don't stand for very long.

Thanks for everybody's help. Perhaps I'll just sow them closer and pick them early then. I'll let you know how it goes!

Anne, may I ask why you want mini savoy seeds.

I ask because I am doing a pot garden this year as an experiment for a project I wll do with school next year.

To this end I have been gathering together all kinds on mini veggie seeds and am wondering if that is your intention too.

I still have two lotties but this is different.

Hi Jeannine,
no, it's just that I've grown them for the last few years and they're delicious! I just can't remember what make the seeds were. They grow really quickly and are a really good size (tennis ball size).
Your project for school sounds great - good luck with it!!

Suttons no longer do Protovoy but Seeds by Size do.The other one I am doing is Estoril, the heads get to be about 1 pound weight. XX Jeannine

When did they stop?.. :'(...I have a packet I bought from Wyvale. In date...till 2009. I like them coz they state "Ideal for baby veg" 

I look on the site a couple of weeks ago as I wanted them myself.XX Jeannine

i have lots of slugs which will strip the outer leaves and leave you with baby sized savoy cabbages,.... any use? ;)

 ;D ;D ;D looks like might all be growing baby cabbage this year then!! ::)

I'm using protovoy seeds from Dobies if that's any help.

I'll vouch for that as well  - left them too late.
