Basic Growing Information
Sow indoors, or direct sow in outdoor beds 1/4” deep after temps are below 85°. (Not recommended in Austin). Seedlings should be ready to transplant in 3-4 weeks. definitely by the time they have 5-8 leaves. Broccoli is a moderate to heavy feeder that does best in humus-rich soil amended with composted manure. Mix 1/2 cup complete organic fertilizer into the soil under each transplant. Direct Sow: 1/2” deep, 4-6” apart, then thin plants to 18” apart. Harvest when the flower buds are still tightly closed. Ice broccoli after harvesting to preserve the crunch.
