Here are the broccoli babies I’ve been raising since middle of July. They are now in 4″ peat pots and setting outside on my porch where they get about 2-3 hours of sun per day. They’ve been outside for 2 days now, and will be taking on more and more sun until they can take it for 6 hours. Then, I’ll put them right into the prepared garden bed that waits for them. I’m giving them half strength fish emulsion to keep them strong & healthy. Unless Itty can’t resist them, they should be ready to plant by the last week of August…..just around the corner…..
Looking at this picture, they look so fragile and delicate. Of the 8 that I planted, 4 lived and are very healthy looking. The other half got eaten by a mouse. Now very dead mouse.
