Piracicaba Brazilian Sprouting Broccoli Seeds

Successfully Germinated

I started a few seedlings hydroponically and 1 or 2 more have also sprouted that were planted directly. It's not the ideal time to plant for my zone, but i figured I would give a try now with low expectations and will also plant more per Jerra's recommended time, later on. I have no idea if the hydroponic started seedlings will survive the transition but figured it was worth a try as it's my preferred method when possible. I am totally new to growing broccoli so it's an experiment all around :) .

Piracicaba Broccoli

Sowed 3 seeds per cell in six cells., 3 days ago. All 18 are sprouted and look strong. I’m so excited that these plants will provide in early and into late spring in my garden. Great germination! Wish I didn’t sow as many seeds per cell. You really only need one maybe two if you plan to frig them out for potting up..

I have started them and they are really going I just hope I get a good crop!
