Gardeners should plant broccoli now for summer harvest

mirror.co.uk

Gardeners are encouraged to plant broccoli now to ensure a summer harvest. Broccoli seeds can be sown indoors from March and outdoors from April to June, depending on weather conditions. To grow broccoli successfully, use peat-free compost and space seeds properly. Protect seedlings from pests and water regularly, especially during dry spells. Broccoli can be ready to harvest in as little as 12 weeks, with summer varieties maturing faster. Harvest by cutting the central spear, allowing side shoots to grow.
