Planting broccoli seeds
If you aim for spring planting, start broccoli seeds inside in April, and start seeds indoors or direct sow in mid to late July for a fall planting.
Transplanting to your garden
Broccoli thrives in cool weather when temperatures are in the 60s. Plant it in soil that drains readily but does not dry out quickly.
Watering
Keeping broccoli watered as it grows is key to harvesting flavorful heads.
Harvesting
Cut each bunch free from the plant with a sharp knife, leaving the rest of the plant in place to produce side shoots or more leaves if you enjoy using them.
