Okay, my broccoli transplants are the ground. Now what?

I think there's some sort of pruning/harvesting quirk with broccoli, right?

Fill a beginner in, would ya?

I could Google, but ya'll are WAY smarter.

Not that I know of. Some varieties will develop smaller side-shoots after you harvest the main head, but otherwise, just put em in the ground, water as necessary, and watch out for groundhogs.

You didn't hear that you have to dance in the garden under a full moon? LOL

Sorry, I am being silly, of course you know!

I used to grow my broccoli from seed in a cold frame and transplant. This year I direct sowed, as soon as I could work the ground. It worked beautifully! I am still harvesting broccoli like crazy. The plants seemed sturdier, when directly planted...Enjoy!

Yay! That sounds pretty foolproof then!

You're probably thinking of cauliflower. You need to close the leaves around the head to keep cauliflower white, but not broccoli.

Good luck with it.
