Growing Broccoli

View the Broccoli page

01 Jul 09 Sonja (Australia - cool/mountain climate)
Ok I am in Canberra and first time broccoli grower...well even first time vegetable grower. I planted these seedlings around Anzac day. I am just now seeing a head forming in the middle. Some questions: Is there anything I shld be doing now to ensure this growth i.e regular fertiliser, covering plant to protect etc. There doesn't seem to be any problems with pests at the moment so fingers crossed. Just using snail bate at the moment. Any help would be appreciated. I really want to be successful at this.
