Fancy growing your own? This is how easy we think it is out of 5 seeds. The more seeds, the easier it could be to pick them from your own garden!
Care Tips
Broccoli can be a stubborn crop that doesn’t like to be moved about so it is important to make sure that you sow it where you want to grow it. The best location in the garden is a well sheltered one with fertile soil that has been well manured over the winter. Don't however plant them where you may have grown brassicas (cabbages, cauliflower, brussel sprouts etc) in the past 3 years.
