Broccoli sowing/growing season is over. Its being harvested right now in gardens. You can plan it for next fall. Seeds are available at Abdul Saeed store Empress market in Karachi.

Thanx Farhan for your help ok so which season it grows here at karachi?what basic care i need for it?what should be the compositio of soil should i be using for it?

Time for you would be Oct-Nov(khi)....i grew broccoli this season and used normal garden soil(sandy) with addition of cow manure and occasional feeding of Urea. Broccoli is a cool season vegetable. I found it to be difficult from seed. For success with seeds use good compost/peat moss based medium. Better purchase seedlings if available at local nurseries.

I think Broccoli is one of the easiest vegetable to grow. I have grown it for 2-3 years; this year it is producing profusely without any additional inorganic input,after initial mixing of manure.I have used seeds, as probably seedlings are not sold in the market. Go ahead next season & sure you ll enjoy.

Thanx Munir and farhan inshallah i will try my luck with This veg next year will be needing loads of guidance from you in the matter.
