Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors in trays or modules from March to May, or sow directly outdoors from April to June in well-prepared, fertile soil. If sowing indoors, transplant seedlings when they are large enough to handle, spacing them 45 cm apart in rows 60 cm apart.

 

Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and apply mulch to retain soil moisture. Protect young plants from cabbage white butterflies by using fine netting. Harvest the main head first to encourage the growth of tasty side shoots for an extended cropping period.

 

Broccoli Limba is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a reliable and productive variety with outstanding taste and texture.
