Waltham 29 Broccoli, Organic

High Mowing Organic Seeds -Best variety for bunched side shoots.

Sturdy 20" plants support 5-6" loose, dark blue green heads with medium to large beads and long stalks (hard to find with modern hybrids and this is an open-pollinated type). Developed to withstand increasing cold for fall maturity. Heat-sensitive.

Characteristics:

• Fall crop
• Many side shoots
• 5-6" heads
• Open-Pollinated

Instructions - Moderately hardy annuals that combine qualities of mustard greens and broccoli for salads and light cooking. Grown for their tender flowering shoots, this large family of vegetables has no central head but many tender leaves and side shoots with penny size clusters of buds. Many plants in this family are quite beautiful in the garden, some favoring cooler seasons and some preferring heat. Use floating row cover when planting to protect from flea beetles. Will tolerate light frosts. Harvest multiple times as flower stalks peak above foliage or for a one-time harvest.

• Plant 1/2" deep 
• Space 2" apart 
• Row Spacing: 18-24"
