Cauliflower
Cauliflower is the pearl of the brassica family, when you open the leafy foliage to find a white curd hidden inside. Our Winter Cauliflower has been chosen for its fast maturity, and small head, so those of you in the highland can enjoy the taste of cauliflower straight from the garden. A true cold climate performer, plant out when the heat passes.

Green Sprouting Broccoli
Green Sprouting Broccoli is a family feeder over winter. It produces a medium-sized broccoli head, cut it off and enjoy months of broccolini-like florets. We’ve saved this seed for more than a decade so its knows where it grows.
Sprouting Broccoli is Perennial, which means you can enjoy eating your Broccoli this season and next season as well! Keep picking the florets so it doesn’t go to seed and you can keep eating into spring. If your Sprouting Broccoli is only a year old, Stump it and let it regrow. Leave a few leaves for solar power and new tucker will arrive when the plant thinks its best. Rather than planting it at the right time. Plant after the first frost to avoid the pesky cabbage moth; it also tastes best when it has been frozen by a frost.
