    Great stuff. I just planted calabrese broccoli for the first time this year. I went ahead and did direct sowing in April and just poured half of the packet in a row. When they came up, I eventually thinned them and will be eating all the lovely broccoli sprouts that got thinned out.

      Oh fantastic! You'll have lots of tasty broccoli before long then 😋

    A brilliant video from sowing seeds to harvesting, great tips and reminder to sow in succession, something I do, but could do more of 😂

    I’ve grown calabrese in my polytunnel over winter in uk. It works well and still grows side shoots. Also it matures very slowly unlike the summerharvests. Lovely video thank you.

      Ooh that sounds great, when do you sow them for overwintering?

    I love that your video actually showed everything from seed to harvest - an entire season, and beautifully done. I'll be trying to make the same kind of videos on my channel, so I know it must have taken a great deal of organization and discipline to make it happen. I've subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your inspiring content.

    Wasted a lot of seeds my friend not sure why don’t remove them and plant the one you pull they do fine transplanting

    • @gardenonthemoors
      @gardenonthemoors  2 місяці тому

      You're quite right, although I only have a small amount of space for them, max 15 plants, which I want a succession of across the season and so need different sowing dates. Each seed is inexpensive and this method means that the few I do grow are the strongest and most robust I can get.
      I do transplant the outcasts if a trio in a separate pot hasn't germinated, has failed due to slugs or are weak in growth, so they are also my insurance policy 😊
      Hope that helps!
