BROCCOLI
Can be grown preity well all year round but prefers cooler
conditions.
When to Sow ~ Autumn, Spring or Summer.
Where to Grow ~ Direct where to grow or start
earlier in sheltered seed beds or trays for subsequent
transplanting. Prefers a well drained site in full sun.
How to Sow ~ Sow seed 3cm apart 5mm deep. Seed
should germinate quickly.
Care ~ Keep seedbed evenly moist during the
germination period. When seedlings are large enough to
handle transplant or thin to 40-50cm apart ~ mini broccoli
30cm apart.
Tips ~ Broccoli will produce more sprouts after cutting
the main head. In summer and early autumn caterpillars
and leaf miner become a problem, protect your plants
with appropriate sprays or netting. When broccoli ‘bolt’
(start going to seed) before maturity, it can be due to
stress caused by extreme heat, extreme dryness or
extreme variances in temperature.
