Re: Broccolini seeds?

**R* M* M* <r*@comcast.net>**

Hello C.L.
This is correct information. Ours is only one many seed companies that  
would love to sell it and receive regular customer requests. If it  
ever dwindles in popularity then seed might be released. I recommend  
growing Choy sum which is yellow flowering and sometimes called  
Chinese broccoli, it's tender, sweet, fast growing and comparable  
although not usually as long stemmed in my garden.
