What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Green Magic matures quickly and grows best in cooler weather, making it suitable for both early and late crops.
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: Fertilizing is essential. Use a balanced NPK granular or a 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer. Keep the area weeded and evenly watered. Broccoli may become top-heavy as the heads form, so staking may be required.
Harvesting: Harvest the main head when the buds are tight and compact, well before flowering. Cut the centre stalk at an angle below the main head and avoid damaging the side shoots. This encourages more heads to develop, which will prolong your harvest.
