BROCCOLI                Approximately 8,000 seed per OZ                                        
APPROXIMATELY 8,000 seeds per ounce.
PLANTING: Start seeds indoors, 4-6 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Place seeds 1/4"
deep in Jiffy 7's or a flat with a good soil substitute, like Berger BM-2. Keep moist. Germinate at
70F until emerge. Reduce temperature to 60F. Seedlings need lots of sunshine to keep them
from becoming long and leggy. Transplant outdoors after all danger of frost is past. Space
plants 12-18" apart.
HARVEST: Before flower buds open, cut  center head. Side shoots will form after. Harvest
those regularly to encourage continued production.                                                
To plant an acre of broccoli you will need 10,000 to 12,000 plants.
