Growing Broccoli

Kate - Vegetables prefer deep pots, they need room to develop a good root system Wine barrels cut in half are great, large terra cotta pots will absorb water whereas large plastic pots are good. Only plant miniature broccoli. Plant the broccolis one plant per pot so they don't crowd. Because they are slow growing, pop in some quick growing lettuces in between as a filler. Vegies that do well in pots are tomatoes green leafy vegetables such as lettuce, salad greens, rocket and parsley herbs such as thyme, oregano and sage snow peas (remember to use a climbing frame) potatoes beans, eggplants,spinach, silver beet and chillies
