In preparation for Wednesday, I pulled out the seeds tonight and made 
final decisions..

Broccoli	DeCicco and Packman and Early Dividend
Cauliflower:	Snow Crown Hybrid and Early Snowball
Chinese Cabbage:	Michihili
Boy choi:  	Joi Choi Hybrid
Brussel Sprouts:	Long Island	Yes, I am a glutton for punishment.

This will be my 7th time on Brussel sprouts.  Maybe 7 is the magic 
number-supposed to be lucky.
