Now I am back at it for the season from Sep 2016 thru May 2017. My first crop of Castle Dome went in 8/27/16 and that may have been too early. Time will tell. My second crop went into seed cups today 9/13/16. Spacing for the 1st crop is about the same that I have been using. That being 11" between rows and 8" between plants in the row.
I'm hoping to grow a whole lot of Broccoli in a single raised bed this season. I also hope to know more about growing Broccoli at the end of the season.

Keep us posted.
Thanks for stating the spacing; I was just going to ask you on the FL thread and did a search for broccoli. I am finally transplanting my starts and want to space much closer than last year and was looking at what our FL expert did.
I am way over a month behind even though this fall - since the hurricane has been so much cooler and better.
I am growing Castle Dome and Premium Crop. For me, Castle Dome seeds generate so much quicker but then as seedlings Premium Crop does catch up.
