There is information on broccoli as part of the Cabbage family from the Seed TOPIC in the Food section of Troubled Times.
- Tolerates full shade; damp soil; tolerates poor soil; neutral pH; long growing season; tolerates frost and wind. Broccoli is a cold weather crop. It loves the cool temperatures of Autumn and early Spring. It will only go to seed when the climate gets warmer, in late Spring or early Summer.
