Have you ever tried growing broccoli only to be disappointed when it produced small-size heads? Or worse... no crowns at all??

Broccoli can be a tricky vegetable plant to grow and in this video I share with you 3 simple tips so you can grow enormous size broccoli crowns every time.

Hi!
My name is Justin and I have my managed my family's business (S&K Greenhouse) for the last 10 years! It is a local garden center in Shelby, NC that my family started around 25 years ago.

We have a strong desire to discuss and teach gardening to the online community and welcome anyone who wants to learn. Though we have been involved in the plant world for decades we have found that there is always something to learn when it comes to gardening.

Whether you are a master gardener or just starting out this channel is for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our videos!

Yes. Most definitely do a video on harvesting broccoli. Broccoli and S&K videos are two of my favorite things.

[LilChelle]

Those leaves look delicious 😋
Note: yes you can eat the leaves. Prepare them like kale or collard greens.

WOW- That is ONE HUGE BROCCOLI CROWN! AMAZING! AND just look at that gorgeous cabbage and lettuce!!! Tell us your secrets!
yes yes YES PLEASE show us your method for harvesting these beautiful crowns!!!

Your plants are incredible. Big and healthy looking. Doesn’t seem to have much insect problems on the leaves either.

So happy to see you’re using bio tone! I use bio tone, and I use garden tone, and I use a cup of bloodmeal per plant at the time of planting, my broccoli heads are as big as the ones that you’re showing I can’t believe how much nitrogen that plant needs, and water. You were absolutely right water water, water, water, and then water again. I just fed them today with fish meal, they are just starting to head up now and I’m hoping for 2 pound heads. Please show how you harvest them.

First time planting broccoli and they're not doing so well. Guess I better add even more fertilizer. Yes, to the harvest video :)

[katherinecornette]

Wow! My plants look good but they are just now producing broccoli heads. Guess I’ll feed them. That Daddy Pete’s is definitely something I will look for 🌱

[greenthumbelina]

Justin, yes, any tips you have I would love to see on harvesting broccoli or any other brassicas. After watching this video, I haven't given my broccoli enough nitrogen, plus I've planted mine in the spring instead of waiting until fall. Thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. ~Margie 🤗🥦

Love it! Educational and comedy all wrapped up in one! That camera though… 😎
Good job and thanks for sharing! 🌱

[marybethwhalen]

Yes please, this is my first year growing broccoli and I would love to know what to do! I am a fellow North Carolinian, from Oxford, just north of Raleigh. 😊

[mrskimmieg]

Yes to harvesting video. As always, great content. 😊

[debbiep]

Great video, Justin, and, yes, I would love to see the harvesting. I moved to NC earlier this year but I never had any luck growing broccoli back in California. This year I decided to try growing green sprouting broccoli hoping I could get many smaller heads. However, the squirrels chomped all the stems about an inch above the soil and just left the plant tops laying next to the stub. Very frustrating. Has this happened to you and/or do you have any advice to avoid a repeat next year?

[mbonney]

Very helpful video! How do you keep pests away? Your leaves are flawless!!!

[Pervydachny]

Great video! The cabbage is amazing. Thank you for your advice👍🌻💙

[kathrinedelmenico]

Just grew 11 and 13 inch heads. Amazing brocolli this year!

[dear_prudence]

Well you gotta tell us now, show us how you harvest it! (and also, are you eating those leaves or the stalks? I cut the stalks in little circles and fry them or put them raw in salads).

[Greenplantguide]

Thank you, as always, fantastic video 💯💯💯

[ronnaholt]

Justin, thank you! My broccoli needs help though. Temps in Texas are just now getting in the 70s. Will it still make?

[RealALSK]

I enjoyed this one, I wish we filmed my reaction to seeing your broccoli haha
