Broccoli generally requires 60 to 100 days from transplanting to harvesting, depending on the variety and growth conditions. It's a cool-season crop, thriving in temperatures between 60°F to 70°F (15°C to 21°C). Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last displayed frost date for spring planting, then transplant seedlings when they are 4-6 weeks old. Start seeds indoors in mid-summer for fall planting and transplant in late summer. Each broccoli plant usually produces one central head, with the potential for additional smaller side shoots. The exact number depends on variety, growing conditions, and care practices. Providing optimal conditions can enhance the yield per plant.
