Purple Sprouting Early will give you a tasty crop over several weeks, with new spears developing after initial cutting.
SOW: in a seed bed or in pots from April to June; ready for harvest the following February/March
GROW: plant out during the summer, leave 50-60cm between plants. You may need to stake broccoli if your garden is not very sheltered as it is top heavy. Individual plants can crop for up to 8 weeks. Pick the shoots before the flower buds open, keep picking to encourage more shoots but don’t strip a plant completely (or let it flower) as this will stop side shoots developing.
ENJOY: for the best flavour steam the florets as soon as possible after cutting. Florets can be kept in the fridge in a poly bag for up to 3 days.
