| Broccoli, Pac Man Broccoli is a hardy vegetable of the cabbage family that is high in vitamins A and D. Transplant young, vigorously growing plants in early spring or late summer. Use starter fertilizer for transplants and side-dress with nitrogen fertilizer when the plants are half grown. Provide ample soil moisture, especially as the heads develop. Cut the central head with 5 to 6 inches of stem, after the head is fully developed, but before it begins to loosen and separate and the individual flowers start to open (show bright yellow). Removing the central head stimulates the side shoots to develop for later pickings. |
