Broccoli - Early Dividend
The Broccoli Early Dividend, 'Brassica oleracea', is an early variety that bears medium size heads, then quickly produces 3 to 4 inch secondary heads. Early Dividend provides impressive yields with good dark green color and outstanding side shoot development after the main head is cut. Semi-domed heads with medium bead are vitamin rich and flavorful. Early Dividend will produce an abundance of broccoli earlier than most and you will fill your freezer in no time. Planting in spring is excellent where there are long cool springs and in areas where summers are relatively cool. Late summer planting is recommended in warm summer areas or short spring areas. Broccoli prefers rich, moist, well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Soil PH should be very slightly acid to neutral. Harvest the heads when buds are tight, just before they open into yellow flowers. ... get more information
