Common Questions
When can I harvest my broccoli?
Harvest when buds are pin-head size, dark green, and tightly closed. Heads should be 3-6 inches in diameter.
Can I grow broccoli in containers?
Yes! Use a container at least 18 inches in diameter (5 gallons or larger).
Why are my heads forming too early?
Temperature stress – either too cold (below 40°F) or too hot can trigger premature heading.
