Description
60 Days | This heirloom broccoli is disease resistant and a hardy producer. 3″-6” heads with bluish green domes. Holds well in the field for extended harvest, as side shoots will form once you harvest the main bloom. Great for the fresh market or for freezing. In our catalog since the 1940s, this is one of the most common garden varieties, and the first we carried.

Plant 1/4″-1/2″ deep, in rows 24″-36″ apart, thinning to 12″-18″ apart once the seeds sprout.Gardeners with a short growing season will want to start seedlings inside and transplant with other warm crops like zucchini. In a warm climate, plant seeds directly in ground approximately 60-70 days before last frost date. Broccoli is a moderate to heavy feeder and would benefit from occasional feedings of manure tea. Keep evenly moist, especially while forming flower heads. Harvest before buds open.
