Green Sprouting Calabrese Broccoli Planting Instructions:
Before you plant, prepare the garden bed by tilling the soil. Loosen the soil to a depth of 12-15" and add a 2-4" layer of compost. Direct sow the seeds 1/4 inch deep and 18" apart. In colder zones, start the seeds indoors 5 to 7 weeks before the last frost, and transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. These plants prefer pH levels of 6.0-7.5. They can tolerate a slightly alkaline soil and require plentiful, consistent moisture and full sun.
Green Sprouting Calabrese Broccoli Harvesting Instructions:
For peak quality, harvest your plants when the buds of the head are firm and tight. If the buds start to separate and the yellow petals start to show through, harvest immediately.
