Planting Info
Days to maturity: 71
Spring planting:
Direct seed into prepared soil during the last 2 weeks of April. Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart.
Start seeds inside in mid March, 6-8 weeks before planting outside. Transplant into prepared soil when risk of frost has passed, watering frequently to decrease transplant shock.
fall planting:
Start seeds inside in early summer for transplanting at the end of July.
Harvest heads when they form dense and firm buds (about 50-60 days after transplanting). Cut off central head and 6 inches of stem; this will allow the plants to produce smaller heads which can then be harvested again.

Broccoli stalks and heads are edible. Heads can be cut into bite size pieces and enjoyed fresh, steamed, or roasted. Stalks are firmer and more fibrous and are better chopped and cooked.
