Growing Broccoli
About
Video Transcript
0:00 so I'm going to show you how to plant
0:01 broccoli seeds I'm going to start them
0:03 off in a seed tray I think it's a little
0:05 bit easier with broccoli to start them
0:06 off with a seed tray and then when
0:08 they've grown on a bit to plant them
0:09 plant them outside if you want to so
0:11 this one is Brassica purple sprouting
0:16 um so you get 350 seeds in here because
0:19 they're relatively small I'm gonna do a
0:21 few in each in each cell and then I'll
0:24 prick out the Str the weaker ones to
0:26 leave a stronger one and when they've
0:28 grown on a bit I'll probably put about
0:31 three in each
0:34 I've also pre-filled this with a
0:36 multi-purpose compost and I've watered
0:38 it already so I don't have to do that
0:40 afterwards and drown them so I'll just
0:42 press those down a bit so they've got
0:43 good contact with the soil
0:49 okay and then I'll just cover that with
0:50 more compost
0:57 okay so if you label that up so you know
0:58 what it is
1:00 um and then you can pop that in a
1:02 greenhouse
1:03 um or a Cold Frame and let that grow on
1:05 and then as I said before pinch out the
1:07 weaker ones until you've got some strong
1:09 plants and you can pop them on and you
1:12 can plant these in the spring or in the
1:15 Autumn and then if you want an Autumn
1:17 Harvest if you do that in the summer
1:19 um after the heat as uh subsided a
1:22 little bit
1:23 um
1:24 yeah that's how you plant broccoli
