What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Broccoli makes its best growth in cooler weather. For both early and late crops, choose a warm, sunny spot with soil that is deep, organic, and well-drained.
Planting: For early crops, start seeds indoors in a soil-less mix from late March to early April. Set out the transplants in late April and early May, spacing them about 45 cm apart in rows 90 cm apart. You can also direct sow outdoors with a 40-50 cm spacing. Germination occurs in 7-10 days.
Care: Use a balanced vegetable fertilizer and keep the soil well-weeded and evenly watered. As the heads form, some varieties can become top-heavy, so be prepared to stake taller plants.
Harvesting: Harvest the main head when the buds are tight and compact and well before flowering occurs. To do so, cut the centre stalk at an angle below the main head and avoid damaging the side shoots. This will encourage further heads to form and help prolong your harvest.
