GIY – Broccoli Seeds

Description

• For spring plantings, seed or set transplants 2 to 3 weeks before last spring frost date. If you transplant, calculate 10 fewer days for ripening or the “days to maturity.”

• For fall plantings, seed 85 to 100 days before your average first fall frost date. If you live in a warm place, a fall planting is best, as broccoli thrives in cool weather. Plant seeds in mid- to late-summer in most positions.

• Plant seeds ½ inch deep.

• Within a row, space your plants 12 to 24 inches apart with 36 inches between each row.

• You will need to thin seedlings to 12 inches apart to give room for the broccoli to fix
