Brocolli

Brocolli...Brocolli...Brocolli...I just love it. They look great and have been growing nicely for the past 2 months. I am expecting some of brocolli heads to emerge very soon. Brocolli is actually a cold-weather crop, which means they grow best when the weather is cooler. When they are exposed to hot weather, they bolt easily which you want to avoid (unless you intend to save their seeds). I am not sure if this variety adapts well to the hot weather, since I am living in a tropical country.

For you information, brocolli is from the Brassicaceae family, hence they are closely-related to cabbage, cauliflower and many chinese greens like choy sum, bok choy and kai-lan.


It started almost 2 months ago..


2months later... 3 potted brocolli plants
