Growing broccoli for the first time can be surprising because this vegetable demands just the right conditions to grow perfectly: extended cool weather in spring and fall (or during winter months in mild areas). Instead of gigantic supermarket-size heads, the home gardener will likely get smaller ones—but they’ll also be very tender. The edible part of the plant is actually a cluster of flower buds. Most varieties produce one large head 50 to 55 days after transplanting into the garden. If you leave the plant in place, smaller secondary buds will develop on side shoots. Other cool-season vegetables from the same species (Brassica oleracea) include Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, and kohlrabi.
Hardiness zone.2-11
Grow.Lightly cover the seeds, and gently press the soil down to ensure it comes into contact with the seeds. Since they are so small, broccoli seeds should only be planted about 1/8″ – 1/4″ deep.Simply pour water into the tray, and allow the soil to soak it up from the bottom.
Space.18 inches apart in rows that are 24 inches apart.
Note.Harvest before any buds open to reveal yellow flowers, which indicate the broccoli is past its peak (although still edible).
Self-seeding.Grow from seed and enjoy growing with your family
