as a soocal 10a thank you so much for all you do for us... .its been great to get specific teachings for our zones climate . I cant wait to orde and try out seeds that fit our conditions... you brightened my day cheers!
I’m impressed with my broccoli harvest this month and I’m loving your seed subscription, every month I can’t wait to get your seeds in the ground and I planted the potatoes yesterday. So exciting
hi 🤗 thanks for sharing another great video. im so used to planting everything at any time here in southern california, 2025 will be the year i exercise a bit more discipline and focus on planting "in season". your planting calendar will definitely help. I plan to sow a few broccoli seeds this week to see how well the plants develop (and hopefully give me at least one head), but ill make a note to start seeds in October next year.
I'm in zone 10b and harvested my first broccoli plant ever this morning. I should have cut it sooner but it was still really good. Going to keep a better eye on the rest of them. I use liquid fish fertilizer roughly once a week and they seem to love that.
I've tried, here in 10a, to start broccoli and rappini in August and it just immediately goes to flower when it's 3" tall. I think our coastal climate is so mild, 500 miles north of San Diego, that I just can't start brassicas that early. My later sown ones are doing well for spring harvest. 💚
I'm in zone 10 and let the last side shoots flower to feed beneficials in winter, then keep at least 1 broccoli growing after harvest. It bounces back to grow leaves and i use them in place of kale and cabbage in cooking in our hot dry summers. The leaves are a lot smaller but plentiful and the plant reacts hardily when a lot of leafy veggies bolt in the sudden weather changes or hot weather. It's 41c today, and the max temp will drop to 25c wednesday after 42c tomorrow.
We have yet to dial in our broccoli. We are trying Gai Lan mini broccoli this year. Should be ready in a couple weeks. Next year we will get an August start, for sure, really. Think we have said that before. 😊
I’ve never grown brassicas. I do enjoy eating them though. Because I’m growing in containers it just doesn’t seem feasible to dedicate several containers for one variety of plant to feed my family of 4. However I may give it a try this season.
I’ve only grown one broccoli and it actually just died but I had it from the winter/spring into December. I got a tiny head from it and a few side shoots but mainly I harvested the leaves. I have several broccoli seedlings now and I’m hoping to plant it out by March. 🤞🤞🤞

I learned this year that broccoli leaves are edible and delicious.

I’m in Oakland and I’m just starting brassicas, fingers crossed
I got seven cauliflower, as side shoots last year; all over 6” across from one plant. Live in the Algarve.

I always cover my broccoli with hoops (concrete ladders) and insect netting to avoid aphids and cabbage worms.
Same. I use netted tunnels and it is a game changer.

Enjoyed video. Doing burgundy broccoli and orange cauliflower. Subscribed from Lakeside,CA.
Last year I grew broccoli for the 1st time. I live in Thousand Oaks. The plants did well but I had an issue with the aphids. 😮
Wow!! I done everything WRONG!! Dang it , I was excited about my little fall garden. Oh well we live and we learn.
Was that intro shot in IMAX!? Wiiiiidescreen… 😊
More important, we will have to learn how to harvest broccoli like a pro. Trump's gonna deport the real pros tout suite.
