Depends on the variety. I am still planting Belstar, Green King, starting
Arcadia, and ordering seed of Marathon to try. How late does your market
go? I had broccoli heading in November last year.

"It ain't rocket science."
"No, it's succession planting."

Timing plantings throughout the growing season has got to be one of the
trickiest parts of
market farming. For the past few years I have tried, and generally failed,
to get things
going on time for fall harvest of broccoli, cabbages, and other fall crops;
I always seem
to start too late, even though it's blistering hot when I do so. So I figure
I'd better
start things earlier than I have in the past. Is now too early to start
seedlings for
broccoli, for instance? Advice welcome.

I am in Massachusetts, away from the coast.
