About Broccoli Cultivation
Brassica oleracea botrytis. Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Place seeds 1/4" deep in a good potting mix. Seedlings need lots of light to prevent legginess. Transplant outdoors 12-18" apart after all danger of frost. Harvest main crown before flower buds open and harvest side shoots regularly to encourage new production. Left to stand dormant during the hot summer months, broccoli will spring back to life in the fall for an additional smaller harvest.
