Sowing broccoli - this is how it works perfectly
When we hear broccoli, we think of green heads and roses. But depending on the variety, it can also be purple or yellow. No matter what type of broccoli or color - sow and pull broccoli, the green thumb is in demand.
The right seed
Broccoli sowing and growing at the right time
Early varieties can be pulled from March in a grower dish on a sunny window sill. From mid-May, the seedlings may be in the bed or on the balcony. Late varieties can be sowed directly from the end of April under the open sky. Before sowing, cover the soil with loosened soil and cover with sifted and well rotted garden compost. Then sow the broccoli seed 1 centimeter deep in the saplings and cover with sieved soil. Spray the bed regularly with lukewarm rainwater.
In the middle of May to the end of July, when the broccoli crabs are 10 centimeters high and have four leaves, they are planted at their distance of 50 centimeters to their final location. Whether the young plants are firmly enough in the ground, you test by gentle pulling on the upper leaves.
What do you need to grow broccoli yourself?
The best start for broccoli breeding
You can use yogurt pots or pots made of peat or egg cartons. Compostable vessels are particularly convenient because the young plants can be planted directly later without damaging the roots. To fill the vessels special Aussaaterde is suitable. This is feinkrümeliger and nutrient-poorer than potting soil and activates root growth.
Tips & Tricks
Sort out seedlings that are weak or malformed. They are not suitable for cultivation. Powerful young plants daily for a few hours longer to harden to set outside.
