There's still time to fill that harvest gap after the summer brassicas have finished but before the winter ones start cropping. By planting in July you will have ‘greens’ right through until October and November. Our aim was to create a collection that would give a wide variety of your favourite brassicas from autumn and into early winter, just as the nights begin to cool down and you want a hearty warming meal or ‘greens’ to go with your Sunday roast….this is one of our best-selling collections, so we think we got it right! There is something for everyone in this collection, whether you like a traditional cabbage, fancy a cauliflower cheese dish, the lovely tasting Calabrese or the chef’s favourite treat Kale Nero di Toscana. This is the perfect collection for beginner gardeners or plot holders who want a good mix of varieties and for making the most of your garden or allotment space.
