How to Grow
While small, floating row covers will help to keep pests at bay.
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
Pick broccoli when the heads have tight, firm buds. This happens about 50-60 days after transplant.
Cut off central head along with 6 inches of stem so broccoli plants will produce smaller heads, which can also then be harvested.
Broccoli may be frozen for future use. Cut florets and blanch them. To do this, drop into boiling water for 2 minutes, then plunge into cold water to stop the cooking, drain and store in freezer bags or vacuum bags.
Eat the heads raw or cooked.
