If it is purple sprouting broccoli which you planted they may not
start to sprout until the new year. I get my best crops after
Christmas. Don't give up yet.

Thanks, it may be that, though I did get some purple sprouting broccoli out
of the same bunch of seed and they set quite a few weeks ago. It the
'cabbages' are indeed broccoli they are very very late coming through.
Either way, they come out for the sweet potatos. Its more the neighbours
stomachs I am now worried about. The reaction across the back fence will
tell me that in time.
