My first broccoli

Zone9b · September 13, 2016

I never provided complete results from my last Broccoli crop last season which was last May. The first to come in was Castle Dome and that was pretty fair. When Lieutenant started producing heads a couple of weeks later it was hotter and it did fair between poor and fair. When Premium Crop came in a couple of weeks even later it was much hotter and it was my first poor crop of Premium Crop.

Now I am back at it for the season from Sep 2016 thru May 2017. My first crop of Castle Dome went in 8/27/16 and that may have been too early. Time will tell. My second crop went into seed cups today 9/13/16. Spacing for the 1st crop is about the same that I have been using. That being 11" between rows and 8" between plants in the row.
I'm hoping to grow a whole lot of Broccoli in a single raised bed this season. I also hope to know more about growing Broccoli at the end of the season.
