F1 Broccoli Bellaverde plugs

I have bought some of the above plugs from Dobies which arrived today through the letterbox.

I was hoping there may be a care sheet or similar with them but there is not (or anything on their website that I can see).

I have an allotment I can put them on but wondered if they work well in pots too? When would I expect them to be ready for harvest? and do you just cut the head off and let it continue to grow? Never grown any before but we consume a lot in the house.

Many Thanks

 

Probably ready for harvest about 10-15 weeks after planting depending on size of plants. Afteer harvesting the main head, further sprouts should develop if all goes well. Treat as cabbage about 2' apart in well manured/compost rich soil. Ideally protect from pigeons and butterflies, maybe cabbage root flies as well. Could grow in pots but would need to be on the large size.

 

Thanks woolyback, much appreciated
