Keep well-watered as seedlings. If left without water they will bolt to seed and be inedible. The plants should grow to develop plenty of large healthy leaves, then the green flowerheads follow, which are cut for eating. Leave the plant growing after cutting the main flowerhead, and get additional crops from the sideshoots which will develop. Recommended soil pH 6 – 7
Watch for cabbage white butterflies and remove the eggs and caterpillars as soon as possible.
Once a plant opens its yellow flowers then it is generally past eating as the flavour gets a bit overpowering and the plant gets very woody. Harvest them sooner rather than later.

Nutritional Value:
Broccoli is high in vitamin C and dietary fiber; it also contains multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer
properties, such as diindolylmethane and small amounts of selenium. A single serving provides more than 30
mg of vitamin C and a half-cup provides 52 mg of vitamin C. The 3, 3’-Diindolylmethane found in broccoli is a
potent modulator of the innate immune response system with anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-cancer activity.
