Summer broccoli?

[grannyjanny]

I've just found my summer broccoli seeds bordeauxe. Have I missed the boat for this year as it says sow up to march. If I were to sow them in the greenhouse to bring them on would that be OK.

What's three weeks between friends... might bolt, but give it a go.  :-\

Should be OK!

Don't leave them in the greenhouse too long.

I would guess you will germinate them in about three days and they will be ready for pricking out two or three days later. (total about a week)

Keep them in a cold frame until the are about 6-8" tall and have formed about three sets of proper leaves then plant them out.

Thanks chaps. I can always rely on you for sound advice.

Living in the north east - we can usually sow up to a month late anyway. All this "sow in March" that is on the label is all well and good for those living down south, but usually up to a month later for us up north is fine. ;)
