I harvested the last of my first crop of Broccoli for this season on Friday. The crop was planted late in August and was completely harvested 62 days later. The first crop was a fair success, given that it was grown under far less than ideal conditions for Broccoli; i.e. September was hot. We blanched and froze some and ate the rest. Today I planted what I hope will be my second crop, which included 146 Castle Dome transplants.
I also seeded 162 3 ½” cups with Broccoli Seeds, which I expect to be ready for the third crop when the second comes out, which I expect to happen in approximately 50 days.
