BROCCOLI Di Ciccio Seeds

100+ Broccoli Di Ciccio Seeds

Growing Broccoli from seed is relatively easy.  Start by choosing a sunny spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Enhance the soil with compost or aged manure for best results. You can start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow them directly in the garden once the soil temperature reaches about 10°C. Space seedlings about 18 inches apart and ensure they receive regular watering to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially as the heads begin to form.

To keep your broccoli plants healthy, feed them with a balanced fertilizer and keep an eye out for pests like aphids and cabbage worms. Using row covers can help protect young plants from these common pests. Harvest the central head when it is fully developed but before the flowers open. After cutting the main head, many broccoli varieties will produce smaller side shoots, allowing for an extended harvest period. With proper care and attention, growing broccoli in your garden can be a productive and enjoyable experience.
