Nice broccoli, I hope my grow that big
Thank you.
We've found that consistent moisture, good dirt and foliar feeding make for consistent yields. They've really kicked for us.
We start them from seed, too, so there's no transplant shock. I've started avoiding transplanting, unless it's something I can't start easily in place.
Good luck – Miami is the Promised Land, climate-wise.
