Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is needed for broccoli seeds, but soaking them in water for a few hours before planting can speed up germination.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix.
Space seeds 2-3 inches apart in the tray or pot.
Alternatively, direct sow seeds outdoors in late summer for a spring harvest.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Maintain a temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) for optimal germination.
Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.

Transplanting:

Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days.
Transplant seedlings to the garden when they have at least 2-3 true leaves and the soil temperature is around 50°F (10°C).
Space plants 18-24 inches apart in rows, with rows spaced 24-36 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Support plants with stakes if necessary, especially in windy areas.
Harvest the main heads when they are firm and before the flowers open. Cut the heads with a sharp knife, and side shoots will continue to produce smaller heads.

Happy Gardening!
