How to Care

• Planting: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 4-6 weeks old and the soil is warm enough. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost or organic matter.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Water deeply at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage, which can lead to diseases. Water regularly, about 1 inch per week.
• Temperature: Broccoli grows best in cooler temperatures, ideally between 18-23°C (65-75°F). In warmer climates, plant in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. In colder climates, plant in early spring or late summer.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer with a higher nitrogen content to promote healthy leaf growth. Apply fertilizer every 4-6 weeks, ensuring the soil is well-drained to prevent root rot.
• Pest Control: Protect plants from common pests such as aphids, cabbage worms, and flea beetles. Use organic pest control methods like neem oil or insecticidal soap. Ensure good air circulation around the plants to minimize the risk of fungal diseases like powdery mildew.
• Harvesting: Harvest broccoli heads when they are tight and fully formed but before the flowers begin to open. Cut the head off with a sharp knife, leaving a few inches of stem attached. Continue to harvest side shoots and smaller heads for an extended harvest.
