Broccoli is a cool season vegetable and September through January is a good time to plant it in central and southern Florida gardens.
This good-for-all veggie takes approximately 75 to 90 days from planting to harvesting (depending on variety). In the meantime, you can enjoy its rich color.
Sunshine State's recommended varieties:
* Early Green Sprouting
* Waltham 29 - usually grows huge central head and after you harvest this treasure, it produces plenty of side shoots
* Atlantic
* Green Comet
* Green Duke
If you can't find these seeds anywhere else, here's an online source of heirloom seeds: Baker Creek Heirloom
