If GIN is chosen 50 seeds!

Waltham 29 (74 days) Bred by University of Massachusetts, Waltham Field Station, Waltham, MA around 1950.

High yields, good color, cold resistance, dwarf compact plant, and big side shoots. Main heads are 4-8" with steady side shoot production after main head is harvested. Good cultivar for freezing.

Does extremely well on the East Coast and Pacific Northwest of the United States. Wonderful for winter gardens in southern, south western and western states. 7 to 10 days. Keep soil moderately moist during germination.

Seeds are heirloom. Be sure to allow a few plants to flower than go to seed. Collect seeds for next planting.

Broccoli grows best in a mostly sunny location during the cooler parts of the growing season. Prefers fairly rich soil kept somewhat moist. Cut the main head when buds are still tight. Continue to harvest side shoots for small heads ideal for salads or stir-fry. Broccoli can be sown mid to late summer for a fall or winter crop in mild weather areas.

Harvesting: Cut main head when 3"-6" across, buts are tightly closed and don't show any yellow color. Cut head with a couple of inches of stem with a sharp knife. Smaller heads on side shoots will develop for an additional harvest.

Broccoli can be grown in 5 gallon containers as well!

Companion planting: Likes: beans, chamomile, celery, coriander, cucumber, dill, marigold, lettuce, marjoram, mint, nasturtiums, onions, oregano, peas, potatoes, sage, tomatoes
Dislikes: strawberries

I had seen a reality tv show on Netflix about cowboys in Montana.. family vs corporate cowboys. Boy your winters are harsh. You're a trooper Valerie170.

Hootie Hoo Valerie170. By the by, germination for the tomatoes has been about 85%. I couldn't be more than happy. Mr. O'Donnell's plants are about a foot tall now. He had a head start on planting his seed. I always look forward to your seed auctions. Russian tomato was a new variety for me. ~LosAngeles

I've never grown broccoli. I live in an apartment and wonder if I should even try. Suggestions? Fanned and watching.
