Broccoli - Sprouting

Sow in seedling rows 15cm (6") apart in April or May, transplant at least 60cm (2ft) preferably 75cm (2^1/2ft) apart during late June to July. Firm rich soil with a high pH and adequate staking are the main considerations when growing this crop. Regular harvesting is also important to maintain supply. The most  devastating pest is Cabbage Root Fly which can  be controlled with Fyba cabbage collars or Enviromesh.
