Looking for Romanesco Broccoli Seeds

greenspun.com : LUSENET : barter board : One Thread

Hello, My Romanesco Broccoli plants died during a cold snap here in the PNW recently, and I don't have any more seeds. Anyone got any? This is the broccoli with green whorls on the heads vs. flowery heads. Seed-wise, I have some organic sunflower seeds that grow 12' high, with huge heads. Or I'll buy them from you. If you have some saved seed, please let me know. Smiles! Linda

Just started mine in my hotbed. I got the seeds from Seed Savers Exchange. Have never grown this before, is it a good grower? They have a web store-I think it is SeedSavers.org

Thank you so much for letting me know who has these seeds. It's a lovely plant to grow. The whorls on top are so unusual and the broccoli is sweet and tasty. I tried it as a late crop last year, and lost it to freezing. I haven't grown it in the summer as yet. It did grow slower than I expected, so having your seeds already planted should help your plants a lot. Good luck with it, and thanks again for the source. Smiles, Linda
