Planting Broccoli

- Broccoli requires full sun and moist, fertile soil that's slightly acidic.

- Direct broccoli seed in the ground once the soil is at least 40 degrees F. Generally, this is 2 to 3 weeks before the last spring date. Plant seeds 1/2 of an inch deep and 3 inches apart.

- Or, set out transplants (with 4 or 5 leaves) about 2 to 3 weeks before the last spring date, 12 to 20 inches apart, in holes slightly deeper than their container depth.

- Space rows 36 inches apart. (close spacing yields smaller main heads but a higher yield of secondary heads.)

- Water well.

- Plants thrive outdoors in 65 degrees F to 70 degrees F conditions.

- For fall plantings (especially good in warm climates), direct-sow 85 to 100 days before the first fall frost, when soil and ambient temperatures are high. Or, start seeds in late May.

Care for Broccoli

- Thin when plants reach 2 to 3 inches tall.

- Provide consistent soil moisture with regular watering, especially in drought conditions. Water at least 1 to 1 1/2 inches per week.

- Do not get developing broccoli heads wet when watering.

- Roots are very shallow, so try not to disturb the plants.

- To promote the growth of a second head after the first has been harvested, maintain an active feeding and watering schedule.

- If bottom, then top, leaves turn yellow, add blood meal.

How to Harvest Broccoli

- Harvest broccoli in the morning before it heats up when the buds of the head are firm and tight, just before the heads flower.

- If you do see yellow petals, harvest immediately.

- Cut heads from the plant, taking at least 6 inches of stem. Make a slanted cut on the stalk to allow water to slide away.

- You can harvest from one plant for many weeks, in some cases, from spring to fall, if your summer isn't too hot.
