Plant Care & Growing Tips

To successfully grow broccoli from these broccoli seeds, proper care is essential. Broccoli thrives in cooler temperatures, so timing your planting is crucial. For spring planting, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date, or direct sow in the garden once the soil can be worked and temperatures are consistently above 45°F (7°C). For a fall crop, sow seeds in mid-to-late summer, ensuring they mature before hard freezes. ‘Tasty GL’ broccoli prefers a rich, well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Amend your garden beds with compost or other organic matter to improve fertility and drainage before planting your broccoli vegetable seeds.

Broccoli requires consistent moisture, especially during head formation. Water regularly, aiming for about 1-1.5 inches of water per week, either from rainfall or irrigation. Avoid overhead watering if possible to prevent fungal diseases. Ensure your plants receive full sun exposure for at least 6 hours daily. Fertilize with a balanced vegetable fertilizer every 3-4 weeks, or use a slow-release granular fertilizer at planting. Protect young plants from pests like cabbage worms and aphids using organic pest control methods or row covers. Harvesting the central head when it’s firm and tight will often encourage the growth of smaller side shoots, extending your harvest of tasty broccoli.
