Broccoli Green Sprouting (Organic)
This old favourite, cool season vegetable will grow to 80cm and produce flavourful deep green heads.
Nutritious and delicious, broccoli is a must grow in your vegie patch! This one little plant gives so much back - the heads, stems and tender leaves can all be cooked or thrown raw into your salads, giving you a variety of textures and flavours. It used to be regarded as a winter only vegetable, but newer varieties mean broccoli can now be grown all year round. Broccoli seed can be sown from summer to autumn in all but the coldest districts. In cold areas, it’s better to start broccoli seeds in late spring or early summer so that the plants are well on their way before winter arrives.
This old favourite, cool season vegetable will grow to 80cm and produce flavourful deep green heads.
The best quality, hybrid choice for the cooler months. Firm dome-shaped heads that hold well in the garden. Side branches continue to produce after central head is cut.
An excellent hot weather variety that can also be grown in the cooler months. It produces a good-sized main head followed by side shoots. Attractive colour and fine flavour.
This is a quick growing vegetable with a slightly bitter taste and crisp texture. It is rich in calcium, iron and vitamins A and C.
Broccoli grows relatively slowly in the cooler months and is usually ready for harvest in 16 – 20 weeks. Cut the large central head when the buds are well formed, but before the flowers start to open. Removing this central head will encourage smaller side shoots to form. They’ll be ready for a second picking in a few weeks time.
The interesting Chinese broccoli called ‘Kailaan’ forms a looser, lighter head that is usually harvested when a few of the flowers have opened.
A layer of mulch will retain moisture in the soil.
