Johnny's MINI BROCCOLI Planting Program

Designed to take the guesswork out of succession-planting mini and sprouting broccolis, Johnny's Mini Broccoli Planting Program allows you to easily extend your harvest across the growing seasons.

Based on trialing data collected by Johnny's Research Team, the program recommends optimal transplanting and harvesting times for 10 different varieties. These are the two main categories and their subtypes included here:

1. Early-sprouting varieties: broccoli raabs, choi sums, and broccoli x gailon types, also known as summer-sprouting broccoli;
2. Late-sprouting varieties, including types for winter harvest and overwintering, also known as winter-sprouting broccoli.

Determine which mini and sprouting broccoli varieties to sow during particular seasonal slots by evaluating the transplanting and harvesting periods shown in the charts below.

To achieve a steady supply, succession-plant the varieties listed in the suggested sequences. By selecting appropriate varieties, meeting vernalization requirements where indicated, and providing protected cover where necessary, it is possible to achieve a 3–4-season harvestable yield.
