When To Harvest Broccoli Grown From Seed? | Home Grown | Wicking Bed 2B

 

1st time growing broccoli from seed! Success 😀 Have more seedlings on the go now 😀

So can you please advise me when is a good time to harvest? Is it ready now for dinner? seeing some florets flowering today!

Also tasted a little floret and it tasted bitter. is that usual? If not, what can I do to fix it?

Sadly it’s been attacked by worms 🙁

Thank you,
Grace-yi

Planting Out September Seeds | Home Grown

Been VERY busy in the garden today.. Some seeds were given to me, others I collected from store-bought vegetables.

Soaked the seeds overnight and planted them into different containers dependent on if they required to be planted out directly [egg cartons] or start out indoors [plastic container] as our wicking beds are not ready yet..

Fingers crossed we will get 2 more beds up and running this long weekend!

Enjoy,
