Broccoli

[Holly Daze]

Thanks Andraste. I have planted some sprouting broccoli. Let’s see what happens.

I have just managed to get some sprouts at a local garden centre at last. Bit reluctant to plant out yet as slugs have already decemayed my kale's and broccoli. Should I pot them on in clumps or individual?

Individually if you can, although if two plants are growing so close as to be touching it may not be possible to separate them.

Marb67 what no snail bait or traps.

Get the compost really wet then they should separate easier to pot up. If there’s two plants so close together they don’t separate you’ll be better off decapitating one,to save at least one of them. They need space between each plant or they won’t do well at all. Keep them netted if you can,away from pigeons & cabbage whites etc.

Marb67 Did you end up separating them or leaving as clumps? How are they now?
