A consistent supply of moisture throughout the growing season is important; irrigate regularly for best results. While more heat-tolerant varieties are now on the market, broccoli does not generally do well in hot weather. The best success is with spring and fall crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDAYS TO MATURITY:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom date of transplanting; add about 20 days if direct seeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEARLY SPRING CROP:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse early and midseason varieties. Sow 2 seeds per cell in 72-cell plug flats, 3–4 seeds\/in. in 20 row flats, or in outdoor beds ¼\" deep. Seedlings should be ready to transplant in 3–4 weeks. If possible keep soil temperature 75–80°F (24–27°C) until germination, then reduce air temperature to about 60°F (16°C). Ensure good air circulation and light. Transplant outdoors 10–18\" apart in rows 18–36\" apart. Broccoli prefers cooler growing temperatures, between 55–75°F (13–24°C), optimum being 60–70°F (16–21°C), but will produce good crops under warmer, summer conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFALL CROP:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse midseason and storage varieties. Start seedlings as above in May and transplant to the garden in June–July. To ensure mature heads, seed the crop early in areas where heavy freezes occur early in fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWINTER CROP:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful broccoli crops can be grown where winters are mild (temperatures rarely below 32°F [0°C]).

Treat flea beetles with insecticides such as pyrethrin or azadirachtin if heavy pressure is observed. For cabbage worms and loopers, use Bacillus thuringiensis. Cutworm prevention: Cultivate soil 2–4 weeks before planting to work in cover crops and destroy weeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDISEASES:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdhere strictly to a preventive program including: (1) long crop rotations with non-brassica crops, (2) clean starting mixes and outdoor seedbeds, and (3) strict sanitation practices. Johnny's Selected Seeds only sells seed lots of broccoli that have tested negative for black rot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris) and black leg (Phoma lingam). NOTE: A disease-free test result means that in the sample tested, the pathogen targeted was not found. It does not guarantee a seed lot to be disease-free. However, no method of seed treatment can positively insure freedom from disease. We are glad to help with specific questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHARVEST:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore flower buds open, cut center head. Hydrocool or ice as soon as possible.
