Broccoli is best grown in the garden or raised bed.

To keep this vegetable looking and tasting its best, here are a few guidelines for care:
Heat tolerant
Water regularly (allow the top couple inches of soil to dry out before watering again)
Fertilize every 2 weeks (easiest to do with a water soluble fertilizer in a watering can)
Fall harvest when planted in the summer

Harvest broccoli before it flowers. Cut the stem at least 6″ long.

Pests to watch for include cabbage worm, flea beetles and aphids.
