    Where in Dublin stocks Mr Fothergills seeds? I want to get their flower sprout seeds - http://www.mr-fothergills.co.uk/Vegetable-Seeds/Brukale-Petit-Posy-Seeds.html#.VTc9rK1Viko - there are 50 in the packet. I bought some Suttons seeds online from Suttons, and most of the 20 in their packet didn't sprout; same happened to a friend to whom I gave another packet. So if I'm to buy the Mr Fothergills ones, I'd like to be able to walk back into the shop if the seeds don't come up.

    Flower Sprouts are a natural (non-GM) crossbreed of kale and brussels sprouts; they sometimes sell the vegetable in Avoca.

    Not in Dublin , but i see on ebay that "justseed" (who i have bought from many times before) is selling them - http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Vegetable-Brussel-Sprout-Petit-Posy-15-Seed-Unique-/321540277411

    I've never grown these before so am going to give them a lash this year!, will keep you posted :)

    Ordered them directly from Mr Fothergills. We'll keep each other posted ;)

    Though if your seeds are out, take 'em in - temperature's going to plunge on Sunday night, they say.

    I went ahead and ordered the ones I linked to earlier.
    Planted them on the 7th and about a week later 14 of the 15 seeds have germinated (so far) .

    Quite excited to give this new veggie (for me) a try.

    Mr Fothergills told me where to get their seeds, but said these particular seeds were only available online.
