Broccoli Gypsy

by Maureen Sullivan on February 15, 2021

Full sun. Our favorite broccoli, Arcadia, has been discontinued by its seed producer.  We have scanned the seed catalogues looking for a variety that shares the traits that made Arcadia so popular, mainly size and an abundance of side shoots.  Gypsy will head up a bit sooner than Arcadia.

Brussels Sprout Divino

by Maureen Sullivan on February 2, 2023

Here is a late season Brussels sprout that delivers, even in heavy aphid years, like the one we had in the fall of 2022.  The open architecture of Divino no only helps deter an aphid out break but allows for aphid removal when an outbreak happens.  Divino produces deep green, tightly packed, half dollar sized sprouts.

Brussels-Sprout-GustusSun. Nicely rounded and 1 1/4″ sprouts densely packed on 30″ stalks.  Harvest through the fall. This variety is particularly well suited to the New England region.
