How to Grow Broccoli Raab Seeds

1. Soil Preparation

Broccoli Raab thrives in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.

• Enrich the soil with compost or aged manure before planting.

• Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can result in excessive leaf growth with fewer buds.

2. Planting Instructions

• Direct Sowing: Plant seeds outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring.

• Indoor Starting: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.

• Sowing Depth: Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and lightly cover with soil.

• Spacing: Space plants 4-6 inches apart with rows 12 inches apart.

• Watering: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.

• Thinning: Thin seedlings to 6 inches apart for optimal growth.

3. Care and Maintenance

• Sunlight: Requires full sun to partial shade (at least 6 hours daily).

• Mulching: Helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Fertilizing: Use an organic, balanced fertilizer every few weeks.

• Pest Management: Watch for aphids and flea beetles, which can be controlled with neem oil or row covers.

4. Harvesting Broccoli Raab

• Time to Maturity: 40-50 days from sowing.

• Best Time to Pick: Harvest young shoots and leaves when they reach 4-6 inches tall.

• Regrowth: Cut stems 1-2 inches above the soil to encourage continuous growth.
