Brassica

About the only Brassica that I eat much of is broccoli - and I do like it alot. I try to grow enough to have frozen and soup to get through the Winter. While it takes a lot of space, I can get two or three harvests before removing the plants in late summer, I try to have some growing in mid summer to offer fresh plants in the Fall.

Last year I bought Green Goliath and had some Waltham 29 seeds previously. I still have seeds of both but I'll probably stock up again when seeds are marked down this Summer.

I've seeded plants in doors and out doors directly in place. The plants give me a head start for the first one or two crops and then there's enough time to let them grow in place. With luck I'll have 30- 40 plants during the growing season.

I do grow a couple of green and red cabbages - two or three reds and 3-4 greens. I don;t eat them, but they do make for good gifts and barter in the Fall.
