How many times a year can broccoli be grown?

Broccoli can be planted three times a year . According to the growth habits of broccoli, it should be planted in February in spring, July-August in summer, and September-October in autumn. However, it is recommended to plant it mainly in autumn because the climate is relatively cool, which is conducive to the growth of broccoli.

Broccoli Growing Conditions

1. Temperature

Broccoli has a strong ability to adapt to temperature. It can grow at a temperature of about 5 degrees, but the growth rate is relatively slow. The higher the temperature, the faster it grows. However, if the temperature is too high, the quality of broccoli will be poor. The most suitable growth temperature is 15-25 degrees, the germination temperature is above 20 degrees, and the growth temperature of the seedling is above 15 degrees, which can make broccoli grow well.

2. Lighting

Broccoli needs sunlight during its growth process. Sunlight is beneficial to the growth of mustard greens. Good photosynthesis can maintain the growth of broccoli and make it plump. However, too strong light can easily burn the broccoli head.

Broccoli Harvest Time

The harvest time for broccoli is generally in spring and winter every year. Since the temperature is higher when planting broccoli in spring, the broccoli can be harvested about a month after planting. The temperature is relatively low in autumn, and the planted broccoli needs 2 months of growth time to mature , so it can generally be harvested in early winter.
