No wonder I've had not much luck with broccoli! I've been starting it way too soon! Thanks!

Do you choose early crop varieties too? It might be a cool experiment to seed both an early and late variety. Then you will have a couple of harvests.

I have never grown Brussels Sprouts but love them. I might have to give them a try when the in-ground bed is finished.

Thanks , Joanne.
I have a pkg of broccolli blend which has seeds for several varieties of different maturity.
And I want to do brussel sprouts---going to find a short season variety.
Yes, the store bought starts do not work all that well for me.

Please up date us on how your crops fair this year

So now with this info, I will have to try more of these with more luck this time.
Thanks for the info.

DH insists that cabbage is a cold weather crop. But I see cabbage seedlings for sale now. Will it grow in the summer??

Yes, they can handle very cool temps and they do have a long grow time for mature heads. If you check out the ATP Planting Calendar, you will see that now is the perfect time to transplant cabbage seedling in your garden
