Broccoli woes.

Not been the most successful year with the purple sprouting or the calabrese. The purple sprouting I sowed direct either failed to germinate or the birds had what little did come up. A friend gave me a batch of fairly well grown purple sprouting plants in pots so they’ve been planted and seem to be doing ok.
The calabrese had a slightly better germination rate although patchy, but when I thinned it and transplanted the thinnings I had three complete rows of it. Now, with the dry weather they’ve all just bolted. Sigh...
I have some Brussels sprouts plants in pots looking for a growing space so the calabrese is going to come out and I’ll put the Brussels in there instead.
