Broccoli Seeds - Early Purple Sprouting

Broccoli Seeds - Purple Sprouting

This is a fall planted heirloom broccoli that is not ready for harvest till spring. Will not produce side shoots until it over winters, but then look out because you will get a great supply of purple shoots. Remember to keep them harvested. Very frost hardy purple broccoli. We also eat the leaves over the winter when healthy greens are so hard to find. Just thinly slice them and sautee with garlic, olive oil, a little salt and add a touch of balsamic when removed from the stove. What an amazing addition of color to your garden and a great use of space over winter when most gardens sit empty.
