BROCCOLI Approximately 8,000 seed per OZ
PLANTING: Start seeds indoors, 4-6 weeks prior to transplanting outdoors. Place seeds 1/4″ deep in Jiffy 7’s or
a flat with a good soil substitute, like Berger BM-2. Keep moist. Germinate at 70F until emergence. Reduce
temperature to 60F. Seedlings need lots of sunshine to keep them from becoming long and leggy. Transplant
outdoors after all danger of frost is past. Space plants 12-18″ apart. HARVEST: Before flower buds open, cut
center head. Side shoots will keep on forming. Harvest those regularly to encourage continued production.
To plant an acre of broccoli you will need 10,000 to 12,000 plants.
