• Purple-sprouting broccoli has great flavor, a long harvesting season and is extremely good for you.
• A single portion provides half your daily requirement of carotenoids, plus high levels of folic acid and vitamins A and C.
• If you choose the right varieties, and time your seed sowing well, you can keep harvesting your crops from autumn through to early summer the following year. Purple-sprouting broccoli is extremely hardy, tolerating temperatures below freezing, so it’s a good winter crop.
• Like other brassicas, purple-sprouting broccoli thrives in a fairly heavy, alkaline soil. Avoid growing it on an exposed site, where the wind will buffet the stems and loosen the soil around the roots.
• Sow the seeds into small pots or multi-cell trays, using a good quality multi-purpose or loam-based seed and cuttings compost. Once large enough to handle, prick seedlings out and transplant into single 4" pots, watering in well.
