Planting Instructions

Planting Season

• Early Spring: For best results, plant Rasmus Broccoli in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked, after the last frost has passed. This will allow the plants to mature before the heat of summer sets in.
• Fall Planting: In regions with mild winters, you can plant Rasmus for a fall harvest by sowing seeds 10-12 weeks before the first expected frost.

Planting Details

• Depth: Sow seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in rich, well-drained soil.
• Spacing: Space seeds 18-24 inches apart in rows, with 24-36 inches between rows to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
• Light: Rasmus Broccoli thrives in full sun, so choose a sunny location for optimal growth.

Watering and Care

• Water Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the germination period and early growth. Once the plants are established, they need regular watering to encourage healthy development.
• Fertilizer: Before planting, work in organic compost or a balanced fertilizer to enrich the soil. A light application of fertilizer during the growing season can help boost growth.
• Mulching: Mulch around the base of the plants to help retain moisture, reduce weed competition, and maintain an even soil temperature.

Harvesting

• When to Harvest: Harvest Rasmus Broccoli when the heads are tight and firm, but before the florets begin to flower (typically 60-70 days after planting).
• How to Harvest: Use a sharp knife to cut the central head of the broccoli, leaving the plant intact. Side shoots may continue to develop for additional harvests.
• Secondary Harvest: After the main head is harvested, smaller side shoots will often develop, providing additional tender florets for later use.

Perfect For

• Early Season Gardens: With its fast-growing, early-maturing nature, Rasmus Broccoli is ideal for spring or fall gardens.
• Compact Garden Spaces: Its manageable size makes it well-suited for raised beds, container gardening, or small garden plots.
• Healthy, Fresh Meals: Rasmus Broccoli can be enjoyed fresh, steamed, or sautéed, adding a nutritious and delicious green to your meals.
• Disease-Free Gardening: Rasmus’s resistance to common broccoli diseases makes it a reliable crop for gardeners, particularly in areas where disease pressure is high.
