Tips for growing broccoli<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How to start broccoli from seeds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can sow broccoli from June to September. You can plant broccoli seeds, directly in the garden, or in a nursery and then transplant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose a part of the garden that gets a lot of sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The planting depth should be 0.5 to 1 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put 3 to 4 seeds in each spot. When they germinate, thin out, keeping the strongest seedling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For continuous harvesting, sow every 15 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sowing distance for broccoli<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Broccoli are plants that need space. Make sure the spacing between plants is at least 60 cm. If you plant broccoli at short spacing, then you will get small and weak broccoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transplanting broccoli seedlings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When the seedlings have 4 to 8 actual leaves, it is time to transplant them to their final location in the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seeds – Nursery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Start sowing broccoli seeds in the nursery in late July or early August. As broccoli is a winter plant. Take care to keep nursery in a low as possible temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transplanting broccoli seedlings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Broccoli seedlings can be transplanted at the end of August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best soil for broccoli<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Broccoli needs soil rich in organic elements. Enrich the soil with compost or other organic fertilizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broccoli needs good watering. But make sure the water doesn’t stagnate and the soil drains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvesting broccoli<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You will notice that broccoli develops a large central ‘flower’, but also other smaller ones on the arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should cut off the central flower while the parts that make up the flower are still indistinguishable from each other. Moro over  before starts to develop real flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By cutting off the central flower, you will give the other smaller ones a chance to grow too. Their size is much smaller than that of the central one. Do not expect them to grow in size. But can eat them as easily as the main broccoli flower.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":1083,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":1,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"fyta-ccat":[961,947],"class_list":["post-4112","fyta","type-fyta","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fyta_ccat-annual-cat","fyta_ccat-vegetables-cat"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nBroccoli - KALLIERGO<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Tips for growing broccoli.
