I harvested my first head, slightly undersized, on 5/2, but truly,
harvest did not start until 5/11. I had to cut one early because I did
not want it to go to waste while we were on vacation. I grew Packman
and DeCicco, and the Decicco is doing better, larger plants, larger
heads, etc. My broccoli was sown in flats on Jan 38, transplanted to
the garden on 3/5 and 3/12. Both varieties had good germination. I've
been eating florets in salad and rice and pasta, but have yet to cook a
head, but so far so gooooood.

We were keeping tabs of when we planted broccoli and when we harvest
it. I set out my plants about 3/20. Heads are coming up and I should
start harvest about 5/20.
I planted seeds of Green Goliath in early February. I set out maybe 60
plants. I planted a dozen Packman broccoli plants also after an
unfortunate hen incident that resulted in the demise of my extra
plants. The Packman is beating the Goliath, but the bought Packman
plants were much bigger.
