When to Sow Broccoli Seeds:
Sow your broccoli seeds indoors in March, and then direct sow them from April to July. This will ensure that your plants have enough time to mature and produce the best possible harvest.
How to Grow Broccoli from Seed:
-
To start your seeds indoors, fill seed trays with good quality seed compost and sprinkle the seeds thinly on top.
-
Cover the seeds with a fine layer of compost and keep them in a warm and well-lit area until they have germinated.
-
Once the seedlings have grown a few leaves, transplant them into individual pots or modules and keep them indoors until the last frost has passed.
-
When planting out your seedlings, space them approximately 60cm apart and make sure they are in a sunny and sheltered spot.
-
Broccoli plants thrive in moist, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter, so it's essential to add plenty of compost to your soil before planting.
How to Care for Broccoli Plants:
-
Broccoli plants require consistent watering throughout their growing season, so make sure to water them regularly.
-
In addition, it can be a good idea to feed your plants with a high-nitrogen fertiliser every two weeks to encourage growth.
-
When it comes to pest control, broccoli plants are susceptible to aphids and caterpillars. You can use an organic insecticide to keep them at bay.
Benefits of Broccoli:
Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, dietary fibre, and other essential nutrients. It is also low in calories, making it an excellent choice for those who want to maintain a healthy diet.
Broccoli Recipe Ideas:
Broccoli can be used in a wide variety of dishes, including stir-fries, soups, salads, and pasta dishes. Try roasting your broccoli with garlic and lemon for a delicious and healthy side dish. You can also use it to make a creamy broccoli soup or add it to your favorite pasta dish for added nutrition.
