Beautiful looking broccoli. With 20 plants you'll feed a lot of people! You may have already done this but if you stagger your planting times you'll get an extended harvest and not a big glut of produce at once

Thank you! I’d love to share it with friends, family and colleagues 💚 and of course for freezing for winter.
I was thinking about stagging the planting time, do you have experience with it? Can you give me tips? :))
It depends on how many plants you plan on putting in and how much room you have but in the broccoli case you could allocate enough room for all the plants, buy a punnet (usually 6-8 plants) and plant them, leaving room for the rest later. Then a month later (more or less, not an exact science) plant another punnet out next to the first batch and then again a month after that. If you plant your first punnet at the very start of the season and the weather is kind you should have a longer season and broccoli ready for harvest in a staggered fashion.
Hope that helps. Can be done with other veg as well.
Thank you so much!
The time between the plantings was very helpful 🤗
I would leave some space for the second planting. :) and I would probably grow them out of seeds by myself 🤗 looking forward for next seasons preparing!
