thinned in garden. GARDEN HINTS: For early start, sow seeds indoors about 6 weeks before outdoor planting time in a sunny area or under plant
lights. Sow indoors in late winter or early spring for first crop and then again in summer for a fall crop. Grows best in cool weather and full sun.

Growing Information
How to Sow
SOW broccoli seeds in average soil in early spring, or in midsummer for fall crop. In Deep South, Gulf and Pacific Coast areas, sow from fall to early
spring. In rows 24" apart, sow seeds thinly and cover with 1/4" of fine soil. Keep evenly moist.
How to Grow
Seedlings emerge in 10-21 days. When growing broccoli plants, thin to stand about 16" apart when seedlings are 1-2" high. Transplant hardened-off
seedlings outdoors after the last heavy frost and set them 1-2’ apart in rows 2’ apart.
A cool season crop. Provide seedlings plenty of light after they sprout - supplemental grow-lights can help if a sunny enough place indoors is difficult to
provide. Grows best in rich, well-drained soil, in full sun. Once planted out, floating row covers help keep pests at bay.
Harvesting
Pick broccoli when heads have tight, firm buds. Cut off central head along with 6" of stem so broccoli plants will produce smaller heads, which you can
also harvest. Eat the heads raw or cooked.
