Broccoli

Preferred variety: Green Sprouting

Hints & Tips: Broccoli likes full sun.
Sow seeds into seed trays in a greenhouse or indoors and transplant seedlings to their permanent spot in the patch after 2-3 weeks, or when the seedlings are around 8cm high. Water 2-3 times per week initially and then once a week. After harvesting the main head of the broccoli, smaller shoots will grow as broccolini.
