Broccoli Rudolph – Growing Instructions
- Sow directly into the garden or trays. Cover seeds with 0.5cm of fine soil. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.
- Space plants 45-60cm apart in rows spaced 60-90cm apart depending upon available room.
- Thin or transplant seedlings when 5cm tall.
- Broccoli grows best in a mostly sunny location during the cooler parts of the growing season. Prefers fairly rich soil kept fairly moist.
- Cut the main head early and the plants will continue to produce numerous small side heads thereafter. Continuous steady harvesting is essential to maximise the harvest.
- Protect from birds and other pests over winter
