I like broccoli, but I can't recall the taste. I only had 2 plants each time I grew it.

In the past, I did the transplants and planted directly in the gound in the greenhouse.
I am not sure of timing. What else would you put in when you plant it, Has?

It goes in with my large cold weather plants like cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, etc.. I did not plant any broccoli this year, but various types of cauliflower in my beds outside the greenhouse because they get so big in size or rather their leaves spread out taking up space.

I'm better it tastes more like cauliflower than broccoli. Thanks

Helpful, thanks, Has...I will put it in early, I did not time it well. All it did was grow great big leaves....
