Giant 1-Foot Heads Beat All Others to the Harvest!
Ready in just 45 days, these massive heads are tender and crunchy!
45 days from setting out transplants. One of the biggest heads of any broccoli, Early Dividend Hybrid is also among the fastest to mature! Crunchy and delicious, these walloping 1-foot heads are ready in no time, and once you've cut the central head, many smaller ones promptly begin maturing on all sides. You'll reap huge harvests of succulent broccoli with this high-performing variety! The worst problem most gardeners have with broccoli is being able to eat it all! A dozen or so plants will feed your family for the season, so you might want to plan successive plantings (or buy a bigger freezer!) A cool-weather crop, it can be grown in spring and fall everywhere, and even in winter in mild-weather areas. Sow seeds directly or transplant into the garden when they have 4 true leaves (about 8 weeks from germinating). Before planting, prepare the soil well, adding nitrogen if necessary and neutralizing heavily alkaline or acid soils. If planting in spring, plan to harvest before the temperature reaches 80 degrees; the heads will bolt in high heat. If planting in fall, start 10 to 12 weeks before first frost date. Space seeds or transplants 18 inches apart in rows 2 feet apart. Harvest the central head first, which will stimulate the production of numerous side-shoots and extend your harvest another few weeks. Pkt is 100 seeds.
