A winter vegetable
Broccoli needs cool weather, which makes the UAE winter the right time to grow it. Start seeds in late autumn and enjoy harvests as the cooler months go on.
Seeds
Our Calabrese Broccoli Mega Pack gives plenty of seeds for a home vegetable bed or large containers.
Sowing and transplanting
Start seeds in small pots with fine potting mix, then move seedlings to a larger pot or bed once they have a few true leaves. Space plants well apart, as broccoli grows into a big plant.
Care
Give full sun, regular water and a balanced organic feed such as Bio Organic Fertilizer.
Harvest
Cut the main head while the buds are still tight and green. Side shoots often follow, giving you extra pickings.
