This is Tim from organic backyard gardening. Fall is starting to set in a lot of our garden scraps
are getting ready for the compost there are still some new crops that are coming in like a fresh
bed of spinach. One crop that has been producing consistently all season long since early spring
and that is our broccoli in this video you're going to learn how to grow broccoli all season
long .I just started to put this hoop house back up it was down this summer but inside of it i
started many crops including broccoli. I put my transplants of broccoli
here in late march in New Hampshire at the end of April i was already harvesting my broccoli
and now it's almost October and we're still
harvesting broccoli look at this some of it's starting to flower
but there's tons and tons of broccoli just all season long and so the number one hack
is the variety so if you're planting broccoli full heads like this but they take so long you're
waiting so long for one head of broccoli and they take anywhere from like 50 to 60 days to mature
after harvesting the head they may develop some side shoots but nothing substantial that's why
i like this new small head variety now this variety is called happy rich from johnny seeds
it's a hybrid and it's very sweet and tender
all you do is you just keep harvesting the side shoots it started to get a little warm
in here because i put the cover back on over the past couple days so they're starting to
really flour but the flowers are edible they're very sweet but also the stems are really sweet
so things you can do with these steam them you can saute them you can grill them you can put them in
dip and my wife comes out here and she picks them for the kids these are perfect for kids
if you start to see the plant start to seed pull off the seeds another thing i like to do is add
a lot of mulch you see i have some spinach transplants starting here right underneath
the broccoli but i add a lot of mulch and this is actually the mulch i'm using right
now is actually pine stumps that were rounded up i just put them on the base
and you can see these plants get quite big very big and check this out as the cold weather
is coming in the cool nights are coming i noticed another sprout here look at this
so this shoot came off right of this main stem and look at this beautiful sprout
i mean this is just gorgeous and as the nights get cooler i think i'm going to have even more
growth on these plants now some things to watch for is you can get these little worms so you want
to pick these guys off and pick off any of these leaves that have these issues and i just haven't
been keeping on top of this but um but that's something you want to you want to keep in mind.
