Welcome to the forum Mandy! If you buy / subscribe to the KG magazine they will give you advice of when to sow & plant all types of vegetables. Just remember it comes out a month ahead if you're up North it will make a big difference!

In short - yep they grow very, very well in the UK!

Geoff - we will just rename them if that happens! The Queens Buttons??

He was joking mandy, don't worry. Brussels is a city in Belgium, so we'd have no like to them if we leave the EU. There are a lot of similar jokes at the moment lol
