Thanks Nick...Been doing a bit of reading for myself..aparrently the so-called F1 clubroot resistant cabbage is a cabbage / Kale cross! I have four species of Kale growing on my allotment and they all appear to be free of clubroot. a All i've got to do now is get my rabbits taill out and cross polinate with a semi-resistant cabbage This is all said tounge in cheek (take note sfs) but if it worked for Cox's Orange Pippin ( a chance seedling) why not for me?

Snadger, We have trialed these seeds at our test grounds. We have grown these in both clubroot infested land and non infested land.
There isn't any other clubroot ressistant brassicas avalible yet, but you will have to wait and see if there are any clubroot rissitant brassicas coming out in the seed catalogues like everyone else

Personally I never grow F1's if i can help it as they all crop at the same time and are uniform in size, taste is not usually an F1 requisite either.
This year I have grown Heirloom purple podded peas, golden podded peas, butter beans, borlotti beans, pink fir apple potatoes plus others i imagine.
None of the other 15 to 20 kinds of veg that i grow on my allotment are F1'sMy Majesty made for him a garden anew in order

Ye Olde feeds
Well s's were written as f's weren't they
Does anyone have seeds of a Yellow Podded Broad Bean? I've got the Crimson flowered one but Apparently there used to be a yellow podded one that sounds interesting.
What do you think of the purple podded peas Snadger, I was given some the other year & they tased awful. Not at all sweet so I didn't bother with them.Last edited by nick the grief; 30-08-2006, 07:42 PM.
