Broccolini

Hello

 

Does anybody know of a seed supplier that has Broccolini seed in stock, apparently it is a cross between Broccoli and Chinese Chard and is delicious.

    Thanks for that Kef

  • Think Fidgetbones is out of the country at the moment, so not online a lot - if this thread is kept bumped up on the front page I'm sure she'll see it when she gets back.  She's not gone for long. image

    Colin - I think this was mentioned on Beechgrove last night as they were looking at their veg trail beds. There might be info if you look on their web page. You can subscribe to the news letter too. image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    What I grew was Brukale. It produced tiny cabbages all the way up the stem, a bit like brussel sprouts . I think the seed was from Marshalls.

    In the uk it is marketed under the brandname of tenderstem. In USA it is marketed as a brandname of broccolini.  Mr Fothergills sells seeds under the name  Broccoli tenderstem F1 green inspiration. I hope that helps.image

    Also Johnson's and DT Brown have it.

    Brukale has now been renamed as flower sprouts.... a registered brand name. I wish they would stop changing the names of things.image
