I want to buy brussels sprout seeds and would like advice on which varieties to try. This has probably been covered before. Is there a way for me to search for a particular topic using key words etc?

Go to SEARCH (left hand side of page under "your details").
Type in
brussels AND sprouts
and see what comes up.

Thanks, Chantal - hadn't spotted it lurking up there! Nothing there that was what I wanted so I'll try somewhere else.

Hello Granny
I do use the forum search at times but don't find it very intuitive.
A simple alternative is to use Google and restrict your search to a particular site that you're interested in.
In your case you might enter the following in the the Google search box:
sprouts site:www.kitchengarden.co.uk
and press enter or click search. Note the careful use of spaces here.
The great advantage of this is that, as usual, Google returns the first bit of text for each item found which helps a lot in deciding if it's what you might be looking for. Quite a lot of replies on forum are very chatty and not much help if you just want some serious info.
Hope this helps
John

Hi John,
What a good piece of advice and it works a treat.
It is amazing what good advice comes on this section.
Peat's advice about increasing the print size is especially helpful to me.
People complained in the past when I mentioned Google but I think that we would all be a bit poorer without it.
thank you.
JB.
