Having had very limited success with various broccolis and calabrese, this was our last attempt before moving on. Quick germination, 100% grew to maturity and we were picking stems for what seemed like months. This looks great, tastes delicious and has been seriously missed since we finished the last plant off. Definitely moved up into my top 5...
Absolutely brilliant, I was picking every day , beautifully tender the only thing that stopped them in the end was the slugs !
Without doubt the best summer broccoli I have ever grown, and tasted. Germination was 100% within 5 days, and thereafter the plants didn't stop growing. After the first picking I thought it would be ages before the spears grew, but it seemed within a few days there was more and then more. Will grow extra plants next year. Recommended.
