- In this video I'm going to take you through the whole broccoli season, seed to harvest and show you how I get a HUGE broccoli harvest in a small space garden.
I'll show you sowing the seeds, planting in the ground or raised bed garden, companion planting, growing requirements, fertilizing, watering, pest control and how to harvest not once but multiple times from the same plant!

Don't forget that the leaves of a broccoli plant are very nutritious also. Use them in place of lettuce, in stir-frys, in salads, etc.
I dehydrate them and add it to my 'garden greens powder'
I chop up leaf stalks and leaves and freeze them. Great in many dishes. I steam them a few minutes and plunge in ice water then dry and bag for freezing. I also juice some leaves and freeze the juice in cubes to add to our carrot beet juice in winter.
Thank you
Broccoli cheddar soup
They also taste amazing as well. 😊
I planted about 30 or 40 broccoli plants my first year of gardening, and I lived in the hot desert. I did not know it was a cool season vegetable. Come October my garden was finished producing, and I abandoned it. The brocolli plants were beautiful, but there was no brocolli on the plants.
In December I revisited my garden area, and lo and behold, I HAD BROCOLLI COMING OUT MY EARS.
0 to 40 plants?? Haha 😂 you could have fed a whole village
I needed to see that, awesome
I need to know how best to make broccoli have big heads
My broccoli is the star of my garden this year. I don’t know what I did but I did it right haha
You got the gardener touch 😆
Same!
You either grew like 2 things or your lieing
@@michaelmcclenon6663 Why would I lie about growing broccoli. How silly.
@@DtheMan247 Took me 6 years but my garden this year is producing and its such a great feeling.
I'm in Tennessee zone 7 and every time I tried growing broccoli for a spring crop, it would start drooping right about harvest time, and would never taste good. Found out from a local farmer that in this area, they do not like having the days grow longer, so only grow them in the fall when the days are growing shorter. I had never even HEARD of such a thing before, so tried this with a few OTHER "hard to grow" spring crops, like cabbages, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, etc. and am having wonderful fall harvesting success! The only problem is the WIND, so using a tomato cage starting then they are still small has worked wonderfully!. I hope this helps others who are having spring growing problems in our area! LOVE you guys!
Tried growing broccoli for the first time this year. Great harvest and you're right, it tasted a gazillion times better thanstore bought. Definitely growing it again next year.
I’ve tried two years in a row to grow broccoli. Trying again this year and so far so good. Can’t wait to watch the video to learn more. I’ve learned all about gardening with my mom basically on our own. Except for the greenhouse class I had in high school. Each year I learn more and more and it’s so exciting!
I appreciate your teachings very much. I have been out of work due to an ankle injury and have been watching quite a few gardening videos. You and a few others are my go-to's. Your knowledge on the make up of plants is beyond any other videos. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
Grew my brocolli without any commercial fertilizers. They are beautiful.
Did you make your own compost?
Just rewatched this. Harvested my first small head. Will be starting new seeds next month. Will give each plant more space and hope for bigger better harvest.
Perfect timing for this video! My last year’s attempt at broccoli is currently an unintentional cover crop in my garden covered in about 6” of snow. I started seeds two weeks ago and they’re doing okay under the grow lights. Hoping that an earlier start will help, as they clearly did not enjoy being a fall crop in zone 6b!
This is my first year having a garden up here in Canada 🇨🇦 I bought then from a Store and transplanted them in the beginning of just tge week after the first frost after I hardened off my plants. I will be harvesting my first crop tomorrow. I heard it's best done in the morning 🥰 super excited 🥦
Wow! Most informative video -- you didn't miss a thing. Thanks for including absolutely EVERYTHING a gardener will need to know for a successful harvest.
Thank you 😊
Great info. Got me started this cold dark morning. I got a lot of spring and summer seeds, including broccoli, planted into cells. Zone 7a
I'm glad to hear that good companions for broccoli are lettuce, spinach, and beets.... Those are the four vegetables I want to grow the most once I start a small garden. I was going to try separate 4x4 foot raised beds, but I was concerned the broccoli would take up too much space, so inter-cropping may be the best way for me to go.
Wish I could show you the pictures of my broccoli harvest from this past year! It was Amazing!!! Love your videos. Our garden has truly been blessed by your help ♥️
Join our new Facebook group (next level gardeners) you can post pics there or find me on Instagram.
Thanks for the video. Super helpful to me. This is my first time gardening and I’m learning a lot. North Dakota’s cold weather is different from the tropical areas I lived growing up, so it’s good to learn about gardening in the different climates.
Thank you! I am new at gardening and just learning about frost dates. I will go check out your last video!
I got your video at the perfect time for the southern hemisphere. Thanks!
This is the information I needed. Great detail. I'm just getting into gardening, and love broccoli. Thank you!
Actually got 2 medium heads under grow lights in my basement last year. Moving outdoors this year. They are huge plants.
Great!
Thank you this year hopefully I’ll be more successful in growing broccoli here in South Texas and I love your channel
Thanks for the very informative video. One of the best I've seen. You've given me some great tips for not only my broccoli, but I imagine many of these overall gardening tips will be helpful for everything I'm growing.
I didn't grow broccoli last year because of the space, but now with your suggestion of putting lettuce in same area, I'll try again. 😊
Good information and love the way it was presented with all the tips, to care for the broccoli 🥦👍❤️
Thank you, I would not know when to harvest anything, you always provided a lot of useful things and clarified a few questions that pop in my head. Keep it up, please and thank you again.
Thank you 😊
Thank you -thank you- thank you for that excel sheet! You just saved me so much work!!! Love your videos!

This was an awesome video! I am very new to gardening or keeping anything green alive lol. I want to grow my own food. This was a very informative video. Thank you!!
I've watched a lot of broccoli videos this past year and this is the best one!

I’m growing broccoli NOW! Its sprouting and I’m excited
Helps a LOT. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Judi
wow, thanks for putting that worksheet together!
I just want to thank you for all of your knowledge. I live in NY on the Canadian border, and my growing season is so short. You have given me so many great ideas. I would love to email you when I start my growing season, as I try things but have no idea what I’m doing, lol!!! Another great video:)
Thank you! You can join our Facebook group and tag me 🙂

Thank you. Excellent video!
Great video, very informative. Thank you!
thanks, this was very helpful. This is my first year to attempt to grow broccoli - so far they are looking freat.
So informative. Thank you 👍
Thank you so much! I’m excited to try to plant broccoli this year 😁
Thanks for all the valuable information love your channel
Thank you for the education!
i planted some plants and they are doing great. i needed the tips on when yo harvest
Thank you so much for this video. I just subscribed. This was right on time!
I've never had luck growing in CO but will give your method a try. Thanks!
Sooo much good info
This was such a great video!!!! Thank yooou!
I am growing some now. Thanks for the tips
Just starting off. Thank you
Love your videos. Very informative and simple to follow tips. Im a little behind in my spring planting due to lots of rain but you inspire me to looking forward to digging in. Happy Valentine's Day from 8A GA.
Thank you. You too!
Thank you. This was a very helpful video!🙂
I will do the fertilising every 2 weeks giving them a good drink. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for making this video.
I bought seedlings grew 3 in containers one in the ground and gave 2 to a friend. I was quite happy with the results I still have small heads growing on the container ones after harvesting a couple of big heads from each. The one in the ground flowered and produced seeds
Awesome video
I like the information and we'll explain.
Thank you, I knew you would answer my question even though I could not ask. Just harvest my 6 broccoli plants, knew to leave the plant but could not remember how long to let the second growth stay on plant. Well you answered at the end of this video, thank you again. Really appreciate your videos and enjoy them also.
Very helpful! I just realized I shouldn’t have started broccoli so late. I’m in Phoenix and I have them sprouting indoors. I guess we’ll have to keep them inside and use grow lights so we can have an actual harvest. Great info!
Beautiful advice. Thank you
You rock!!! Best video!
Perfect timing. I was debating whether to start seedlings for spring. Virginia's springs are unpredictable. They could be cool one year or heat up quickly. I'm going for late summer planting.
I'm also in Virginia and am going to take the gamble and try growing some this year.
My 7A zone is Fredericksburg. Never can tell what will happen there or when for sure!
I also live in Virginia I think I’m planting in late Summer. I really don’t want to deal with pest.
I threw some tomato cuttings into the ground around late May or early June before I headed back to Florida last year. Totally ignored them until my return in October. Tons of 🍅! I hadn’t taken the time to cage or trellis any but one. Took some figuring to get them up off the ground at that point. By the time I left in late November I was picking green tomatoes to ensure I got them all! Quite a surprise. Ignored them and they thrived. Babied the plants in Florida and grew a tenth of the Virginia tomatoes. Go figure!
I wish I watched this sooner! I just started my seeds with my others but didn’t realize I should have been planting right now. We’ll see how they do, but I’ll definitely go for a fall batch.
I really like this video, thank you
My first year with broccolli, started 6 from seed no issues until over 1foot tall. Then one day woodchuck took three, wind snapped another one at the stalk, and squirrels took a fifth. I have one plant, strongest from the beginning, scared and scraped from its troubled life, and finally sprouting broccolli, and it is getting ravaged by bugs. It's been simultaneously the easiest and hardest plant I've grown. 😅
You can also harvest and eat the leaves. They are good cooked like you would collard or mustard greens.
Thanks for sharing. Just planted transplants from Home Depot here in Charleston, SC.
Very informative
I have had success with broccoli in a raised bed and last year I tried a grow bag, I had a good crop👩🏽🌾👍🏽🥦 oh and Happy Valentine's day💘
Excellent video
Wow thanks for the tips! I’m trying to grow broccoli for the first time
Good luck! You can do it!
Great Video Brian, thanks a lot!
Thank you 😊
Love your videos
Awesome 😎 thanks for the tips . I’ve just been winging it . Some come out good and some terrible. Worms are terrible and didn’t know what to do .
Thank you for the video. I'm trying broccoli in my greenhouse for the first time.
Thanks for the info on soil temp. My first attempt was almost lost. But I think they'll make it.
Great video
Great tips, thanks! I’ve never had any luck getting a nice head on my broccoli. I’m going to put your tips into practice this year.
Thank you!
Thank you good videos was always 😊
Yes, I learned something, so I gave a thumbs up.👍🏻👍🏻
Very good video.
Great info. Thanks!
You're welcome
Thanks !
Omg so excited to watch this I planted seeds and hot NOTHING ....not sure what I did wrong thanks for sharing !
Thanks for the tips! Will try them this summer, I can grow it but it never comes out as full as it should, can only get a few little heads
Thank you! ❤😘❤
I live in Fresno Ca and this is my first year growing Broccoli and it had done great. I have not had a problem with pests and am loving it. Thanks for all your wonderful information. I am working on my tomato ground and beefing it up with egg shell to hopefully ward off bloom in rot, that seems to be my big problem with tomatoes.
Sounds good!
Thank you ❤️
Liked the seed trick great.broccoli
Thanks..always have trouble with pests! Helpful info!
You're welcome
Last year was my first try at a garden in pots. I had no idea what I was doing. It cost me $700 to buy everything to start. O watched the garden channels. Mt Tomatoes died durning the summer. A lot did come up. My broccoli grew threw the cold winter. I planted collars with them and I thought that's what the broccoli was but it grew a head las week😁.
Love your show and I've learned a lot, so far.
😊
Thanks
Thank you for your style of teaching. Informative and succinct.
I subscribed.
Thank you. And welcome!
BC summers are perfect for broccoli. I keep getting shoots all summer until I am tired of broccoli and pull them out in September. Thanks for the info on pests.
Awesome video!
I plant purple sprouting broccoli for over wintering; it survives the mild PNW winters and sprouts for a couple of months in the spring. It earns it's space and the time it stays in the garden by giving us an early broccoli harvest
I learned so much! I have grown broccoli successfully once but I realize now I was just lucky. The second time it was a dud. Now I understand why and ready to give it a go again. My husband loves broccoli so he will be happy I watched this! Thank you so much - I have learned so much from you. Blessings
Thank you 😊
Ordered the Neptunes' Harvest through your link. Thanks!
This is my first year with broccoli. I used a heating mat and it worked fine with cold weather plants. Even strawberries germinate on a heating pad
Ty for the tips. Last yr was a broccoli disaster for me..lol love your channel!
COMPLETE GUIDE!!! Oh, hell yeah!!! Very 1st video of yours that I’ve watched & I’m very pleased with all the info that you provided. If I had more thumbs, you’d get them for sure! Excellent job! 👍👍👍👌
Thank you!
