Spring Sprouting Broccoli Seed Blend

Description

A useful spring vegetable producing several nutritious small heads per plant.

Out of interest, and to extend the season, we offer a blend of both purple and white sprouting broccoli that does not come ready to harvest all at once - but will extend from February until May.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects if allowed to 'go over' and flower (so if you have room leave any plants in that have gone too far rather than pulling them out straight away).

• Sow in seed trays April-May.
• Pot on seedlings before planting out.
• Set out, when hardened off and large enough to handle, 2 feet (60 cm) apart in rows 2 feet (60 cm) apart.
• Harvest from February-May.

• Top Tips
• Plant firmly, and in windy areas consider staking.
• Protect from pigeons - pigeons love Brassicas (so do partridges)
• Take precautions against the dreaded Cabbage White Butterfly - inspect your crop regularly, spray with our BioFriend Plant Defence or use a physical barrier such as insect netting.
• Pick regularly so that more shoots grow.
