Last year was my first year growing it and I didn't allow enough space between other vegetables. The main head didn't get very big and I had several small side shoots. This year I'm doing much better. I checked and the head is almost ready for harvest. I would say compost the soil well (I use chicken manure) for my spring greens, space accordingly and cover the broccoli if you can. Last year the catepillars attacked! Good luck!!~TastyTravels~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17242583069509116828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4328565836109985766.post-91352840237599328212012-05-29T22:57:55.149-07:002012-05-29T22:57:55.149-07:00I would love to know any secrets you have about gr...I would love to know any secrets you have about growing broccoli.
