Re: How to Grow Broccoli
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.

Re: How to Grow Broccoli
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.
