Waltham 29 Broccoli Planting Guide

Waltham 29 Broccoli🌱

1. Choose a Planting Location:
Broccoli thrives in full sun 🌞, but it can tolerate partial shade. Choose a well-drained spot with fertile soil.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Broccoli prefers soil enriched with compost, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) 🌾. Work in organic matter to improve soil fertility.

3. Planting Instructions:
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 18-24 inches apart 🌍. If you're growing in rows, space the rows 24-36 inches apart.

4. Watering Requirements:
Broccoli needs consistent moisture 💧. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture.

5. Germination Time:
Broccoli seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Fertilize every 3-4 weeks, especially during the growing season. Harvest the heads while still firm and before the florets start to open 🌱.
