Description

Broccoli 'Bellaverde' is a fabulous, sweet stem, multi-harvest broccoli, similar in appearance to Cima di rapa (Wild Broccoli). High in nutritional value, this tasty broccoli fetches a high price in the supermarkets. Plants produce small, compact heads with tender stems that are so sweet you can even eat them raw! Grow this variety in full sun where the sunlight gives flavour to the developing shoots which emerge above the foliage. This productive broccoli will produce 3 to 4 harvests per plant. After the main head is removed, tender side shoots appear approximately 7-10 days later. Height: 90cm (35"). Spread: 60cm (24").

Sowing

Where to sow: Outdoors in a seed bed for transplanting later on. Alternatively seed can be sown into modules and seedlings planted out when large enough to handle and after all risk of frost.


Preparation: Prepare the soil by raking until it is fine and crumbly, removing any large stones.


Sowing: Sow at 4 week intervals from March to June. Sow thinly, 1cm (1/2in) deep and cover lightly with soil. Keep watered during dry weather.


Growing: Transplant seedlings to their final position when they have 4-5 leaves and are large enough to handle, about 5 weeks from sowing. Allow a minimum of 60cm (2ft) between plants and 75cm (30in) between rows. Firm in well and water regularly.


Harvest before the flowers open and when shoots are around 10cm (4in) long. This productive broccoli will produce 3 to 4 harvests per plant. After the main head is removed, tender side shoots appear approximately 7-10 days later.Regular picking will encourage more shoots. Don't remove the large leaves as these will protect the next batch of developing shoots. Place some fine mesh netting over the plants to prevent against root fly, aphid and Cabbage caterpillar damage.

More Info
Water regularly and do not allow them to dry out as this may impair their development. Hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing and bring insect larvae to the surface. Harvest the mini main heads before the flowers open. Leave the plant in the ground to allow sideshoots to develop. Regular picking will encourage more shoots to be produced.
