Of the 2 types of broccoli seeds I planted the first batch had a clear winner 4 of 5 Calabrese Broccoli germinated while 0 of 5 Romanesco Broccoli germinated. This is my first attempt to grow broccoli from seed I have planted a sad little plant from a garden store a few years ago without much luck, it was a complete failure. The difference I have experienced between the virility of plants grown from seed vs that of their plastic pot bound brethren gives me hope that growling broccoli from seed will be a much better experience.
Broccoli is such a simple easy green to add to any meal I will consider it a huge win if I am able to produce 5 food producing plants.
