    Got brassicas from Andrew but mine aren't looking so hot. Almost all of them have little black teeny tiny spots on them. What is it??? I'm new to veg gardening please forgive my ignorance......

    Also just in general they don't look overly healthy to me. Just a guess as not sure how great they are supposed to look. I think I have curly kale and to me that looks fantastic and compare that to the others and I think all my other brassicas are on their way out.

    Any ideas????

    Why not email Andrew and ask the question, and also post a photo on here so we can all have a look (both at spots and condition)?

    Received my plants yesterday, look in good condition to me. Didn't see any spots on them, and they look pretty healthy. Only problem is that with a mixed batch I don't know which are which! I suppose that'll become apparent pretty quickly though.
  • I got my plants last week, 180 of them! we're lucky enough to have a large veg garden. All the plants seem healthly, a few yellow leaves here and there but nothing else.
    The leeks I got from him a while ago are doing really well too, almost ready for eating!

    Brassicas are planted now, ordered a mixture of 20 and received 26. Needless to say I'll be ordering some more once I've cleared another bed!

    Got my plants today, thanks to the post strike they are a bit yellow. Good sturdy plants tho so they're currently in a basin of water and I'll plant them when this drizzle stops!

    Yeah and I ordered a mixture too and although they're in bundles of presumably the same kind, each bundle isn't labelled! Just have to wait and see!!
    Just call me Nodwah the thread killer
