Broccoli 35+ seeds "Cardinal"_PRICE IS PER PACKET

Broccoli is not too choosy about the site and soil. It prefers to be in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade with no problems. The ideal soil is a reasonably heavy (not pure clay) which is rich in nutrients and has been well-dug. A light soil can be improved by the addition of nutrients provided by a a general fertiliser and bonemeal. Adding bonemeal to a heavier soil which is not too rich in nutrients will also be of benefit.

Sow the seed about 7cm (3in) apart in lines which are 60cm (2 foot) apart. Cover the seeds with 1.5cm (half inch) of crumbly soil and water well. The seeds should germinate in 10 days or so. When the seedlings appear, thin them to 22cm (9 in) apart.
