Growing conditions: Broccoli grows best in full sun but can tolerate some light shade. It prefers fertile, moist, well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. Broccoli can tolerate a slightly alkaline pH - add lime to particularly acidic soil, especially where clubroot might be an issue. Hollow stems may indicate a boron deficiency.

Harvest: Early crop will be ready from May-July while later sowings can be harvested in Sept and Oct. After the main flower has appeared, numerous side shoots continue to form, extending the harvesting period.
