I’ve also read that adding ground limestone to the soil will help prevent clubroot disease in broccoli.

Hi Stephanie,

You can buy the seeds from kings seeds for a few dollars, but this year I bought some seedlings from the supermarket in early winter and they are just starting to head up now.

Cheers,
Robin

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have been growing purple sprouting broccoli for months now. I have not seen one single purple sprout as yet and its january. The plants are about 2ft high or more in some cases. The birds have demolished them. I have netted them but without any luck. Will I get any sprouts now or has it just been a major waste of time? I think it would be a good idea that people wanting to grow purple sprouting broccoli are warned about the birds. No one told me, it has come as a complete surprise. Yours very disappointed.

Peter

Thank you for the great tip re eggshells. I came across your page as I too brought some PSB seeds from Kings - we used to eat this in the UK on our OE and fell in love with it. I just wasn’t sure when to plant it but you’ve cleared that up - lots of thanks there. I found spraying my brassica leaves with a homemade mix of dried chilis, crushed garlic, boiling water and a bit of oil seemed to work. Let it cool in a container and then steep for 5 days before straining and using. It does stink though. I would then use a seaweed spray about 5 days later. I’m going to try that this year along with your eggshell tip.
