Green Sprouting Calabrese is an easy way to eat healthy. Try out tasty broccoli fresh from the garden with dips, steamed for a side dish, or as a new creation all of your own! Broccoli is easy to grow. It is a cool weather plant which means you can have a spring crop and another in the fall. Garden tip: Harvest central head and lateral clusters before flower buds open. This is a good producer so freeze extra for a later date!
Well, what can I say? "Broccoli is easy to grow...this is a good producer": I think it's obvious why I chose broccoli. I'll be direct sowing it and I think I'll do it very soon since it's a cool weather plant.
