DESCRIPTION
Broccoli - Waltham 29 - Organic - Microgreens Seeds
Growing Directions:
Broccoli grows very fast and is one of the easiest microgreens to grow. It can be sown a little more thickly than other seeds. Keep in the dark with the black-out dome for 3 days and then flip the lid on days 4 and 5 to put a little stress on the emerging seedlings. This will strengthen the crop.
