Sowing More Brassicas & Plant Swap Day

My Brassica really don't like the small plug plant modules 20mm x 20mm x 30mm deep, poor little things died, so larger modules ands a re-sow is in order - So using the small propagators I have just sown

  6 x Brussels Sprouts - Revenge in a Pop Bottle Propagator
12 x Brussels Sprouts - Eversham Specials
12 x Cabbage - Greyhound
20 x Cabbage - Golden Acre

The sprouts should be OK but it may be a little late for the Cabbage, if I go to the  Benhill-Crescent Horticultural Socity - Plant Swap & Open Day Event this Sunday, I may be able to pick some plants up, goes against the grain but needs must and all that. Below is the email I received today.


PLANT SWAP & OPEN DAY

SUNDAY 15TH MAY 2016

BENHILL ALLOTMENT SITE

10.00-12.30PM

 
Our popular Plant Swap event is here at last!  Just bring along your surplus seedlings, cuttings or any plants you don't want and swap them for something else via a token system.  It's great fun and a chance to get something different. If you don't have anything to swap you can buy tokens at the gate. (I found out that tokens are 50p each, but a little unsure what a token will buy you?)

Swappers can take the opportunity to meet the Committee Members in their bright yellow shirts, ask experts about their garden, vegetable or plants, join the society or make enquiries about renting an allotment.

The Trading Hut will be open as usual with a wide range of summer bedding and vegetable plants for sale.

Refreshment will be available to make your day complete.
