- Summer yielding
- Days to Maturity 71
Tight blue-green heads stand up against the heat of summer.
Attractive blue-green heads sit ready to harvest through the heat and sweeten more when kissed by fall frosts. Well leafed plants yield these 6-8" diameter heads and 5-10 1" side shoots as well. GARDEN HINTS: For earlier harvest, sow seeds indoors in a sunny spot or under plant lights 6 to 8 weeks before outdoor planting date- this works for both the spring and fall! If purchasing plants in the fall, plant upon arrival and harvest before heavy frost hits. Avoid planting in garden area where cabbage family was grown the year before. Withstands light frost.

Withstands light frost.
- Pick broccoli when the heads have tight, firm buds. This happens about 50-60 days after transplant.
- Cut off central head along with 6 inches of stem so broccoli plants will produce smaller heads, which can also then be harvested.
- Broccoli may be frozen for future use. Cut florets and blanch them. To do this, drop into boiling water for 2 minutes, then plunge into cold water to stop the cooking, drain and store in freezer bags or vacuum bags.
- Eat the heads raw or cooked.
