Sow seeds indoors 4 to 5 weeks before the last frost or directly into the ground in early May. When transplanting or thinning, space plants 12 to 18 inches apart in the row and 18 to 24 inches between rows. Prepare loose, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter and able to retain moisture for optimum growth.
Rotate crops to prevent disease and keep soil slightly moist with regular watering, especially during dry spells. Harvest main heads when they are firm and tight, cutting at the bottom of the stem to encourage secondary heads to appear.
Add this compact, early broccoli to your vegetable garden for generous harvests and a nutritious vegetable, perfect for a variety of dishes such as stir-fries, salads or steamed sides.
