Broccoli Growing Guide
Broccoli is a delicious and beautiful plant to add to any garden. When taken care of, it will yield a large head of broccoli surrounded by deep green leaves. Weather you like broccoli or not, this beautiful plant will turn any ordinary garden to a professional, expert garden.
1.Take however many pots that you wish to grow broccoli in, and fill them with soil with a few inches off of the top.
2. Saturate the soil completely and stick your pinky finger in the middle to make a small hole up to your first knuckle.
3. Drop two broccoli seeds into the holes and gently cover them with the soil. DO NOT pack it down.
4. Once the seedlings sprout, keep the soil moist until there are two more leaves than the cotyledons.
5. If both seeds sprout, take the tip of a pencil, and use it to carefully separate the roots of one plant from the other, replant the separate plant in another pot.
6. After the leaves are well established water the soil every 3-5 days.
7. When you notice your plants have stopped growing, grab one by the base of the stem and turn the pot upside down. If the roots are rapped around the bottom, it is ready for transplant. If you need to wait for transplant, cut the bottom inch of the soil and roots, and put another inch of soil in the bottom of the pot.
8. To transplant into the garden, repeat the first part of step seven, and place in a pre-dug hole.
Warning:
Broccoli plants have very thick leaves, and are prone to be eaten when the inch worms come out, and later with other insects. Be sure to check for harmful bugs on your broccoli. The most common broccoli issue is the presence of downy mildew. Check the under the leaves for fuzzy white growth with yellow spots on top. If downy mildew is present, use a nitrogen rich fertilizer to remedy the situation. Be sure not to over water.
