Broccoli Raab, Spring

Description
Cut 6" pieces when they are the size of a quarter. Youll love it lightly sauteed with garlic and olive oil, fresh in salads and boiled soups.

How to Grow
Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating. Avoid disturbing the soil around the plants when weeding.
Keep plants well watered during dry periods to promote rapid, uninterrupted growth.
Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area.

Tips
Plants produce an abundance of small leaves and many side-shoots no larger than a quarter.
Pick shoots and leaves in about 35 days.
Harvest whole plants when sprouts are 1-2 inches across just as they begin to flower.
Keep picking to extend harvest.
