Organic Broccoli Purple Early Sprouting

Description

Growing Instructions

Sow directly into the garden or trays. Cover seeds with 1/8 inch of fine soil.

Keep soil moderately moist during germination. (Broccoli can be sown in spring through to mid-summer for over-wintering)

Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart in rows spaced 2 to 3 feet apart depending upon available room.

Thin or transplant seedlings when 2 inches tall.

Broccoli grows best in a mostly sunny location during the cooler parts of the growing season. Prefers fairly rich soil kept fairly moist.

Cut the main head early and the plants will continue to produce numerous small side heads through to late spring. Continuous steady harvesting is essential to maximise the harvest.

Protect from birds and other pests.
