              SP Broccoli marathon I'd swear by! A central head the size of a football!

              Rubine Sprouts? You grown them before? Cause my attempt last year was very disappointing!

              I know BB recommended another variety of red sprout, but memory fails, so would have to look back!

              • Sorry to appear pedantic but is Marathon a Broccoli or Calabrese as I thought Broccolis threw out small heads as per PSB.
                Another one here who had poor results last year with Rubine...........not a single sprout.

                  I agree with you about about the broccoli marathon. It was fantastic last time I grew it.
                  I've never grown rubine sprout before. All sprout varieties are on their last chance this season. I've never grown a good crop.

                  • BM I always get confused with Brocolli, calabrese, to me apart from PSB everything else are a Brocolli!
