Growing Broccoli

  • For successful broccoli cultivation, it is advised to choose the cool weather of early spring or fall. You can opt for containers or an in-ground garden to grow it effectively.
  • When planting broccoli, the usual spacing is 18 inches apart. Opt for a site that enjoys full sun exposure, provides convenient access to water, and possesses fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0.
  • Prior to planting, enhance the quality of the existing soil by incorporating several inches of compost or other nutrient-rich organic matter.
  • Ensure adequate soil moisture by giving broccoli plants 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week.
  • Make the most of your broccoli growing efforts by regularly feeding with a continuous-release plant food.
  • Apply a generous amount of organic mulch composed of finely ground leaves or bark to retain moisture in the soil and inhibit weed growth.
  • Proper timing and temperature are vital factors in ensuring successful growth. It is essential to maintain a temperature range of 65 to 80° F for ideal growth conditions.
  • When the center crown of the broccoli is filled with tiny, green, tightly-packed buds, it is time to harvest.
