BROCCOLI

Brassica oleracea var. italica

Broccoli is vigorous and easy to grow, it likes a rich, well-drained soil. It is a cool season crop in warmer areas; sow late summer to late autumn depending on area. In Brisbane and further north seedlings should be transplanted after March, as March is the worst month for caterpillars. In very cold areas sow in spring. Seed germinates at 5-18°C; sow 6 mm deep in trays and transplant seedlings deeper, first removing the seed leaves and planting up to the 1st set of true leaves, this stabilizes the plant and speeds it’s maturity. Space plants 40 cm apart. Keep soil moist; add organic fertiliser early and mid-season, pH should be 6 - 7.2. Harvest while heads are still tight and dark green for the best flavour.
