How to Sow

  • For indoors: Fill pots or cell trays with compost and press down to firm the soil
  • Take a couple of seeds and sow into each pot or cell
  • Cover the seeds with 0.5cm of compost, pat down and gently water

Plant Care

  • Seedlings may need thinning out to keep spacing once emerged
  • If transplanting from indoors, assure plants are spaced approx 18 inches apart

AllotMe’s Tips

  • Broccoli will benefit from being grown under netting or in a brassica cage (along with the likes of cabbage etc). This will help to protect from pests, especially birds!
