The ones I bought ended up being cabbage! wish I could help you

I'd try seeds as soon as possible. Who says it's too late?
See what happens..... for the price of a pack of seeds.
What can you lose, balanced out by what you might get,
seems like an easy decision to me. Think of the education, if nothing else.
Maybe you can find some seedlings....somewhere. Hope so.

Sorry to hear that, buyorsell888! In my book, there's no contest between slaw and caramelized nuggets of roasted goodness.

Mike, I did go ahead and sow seed batch No. 3 last evening, but without much hope. Had started seeds at the end of July last year and those plants didn't mature in time.

Fingers crossed for try #3 and eyes peeled for seedlings that look suspiciously like cabbage.

Still too early for fall veggie starts to be available in retail outlets. Supposedly still too 'hot'/summer-like to plant out at this time :-) These are usually available starting later this month on into September. 'Franklin' is the variety strongly promoted by Territorial seeds for fall planting if you still wanted to attempt seeding. It has a harvest interval of 80 days compared to upto 200 for others.

Hi.

Found some at the old Classic Nursery site on Avondale! I thought all they sold were varieties of animal feed, but they had a big sign indicating they had fall starts available. So glad I stopped! They had just one variety: Long Island, which I have read on this forum isn't the best for our weather. Nonetheless, happy to have found any at all, I bought 2 six-packs. The owner and one of the clerks (his daughter, perhaps?) were extremely nice and sent me off with a free jug of compost tea. Off to plant!

All smiles,

Had the chance to google the name of the place where I bought the starts. It is called KIS Farm. The link below (warning: Pop-ups) is to an article in the local newspaper that describes the various goals of the enterprise. Pretty interesting. Apparently, the clerk was author Jessi Bloom. Before you get all eponym-nic on me, note her book is titled, "Free-Range Chicken Gardens." A good book, but her name should've been.... let's see. A bloom is to a plant like a blank is to a chicken... Jessi Egg?

Here is a link that might be useful: KIS Farm Article

I am having a plant trade in Olympia on Sept 15 (see my posting on the 'PNW Exchange' forum). I have planted brussels sprouts, as well as other winter crops (cabbage, kale, chard, broccoli, kohlrabi, broccoli-raab, etc.), which I will be giving away for free. The trade is open to everyone, and you don't have to have plants to offer in exchange.
