Gypsy, Broccoli

.25g approx 43 seeds per packet 
Gypsy broccoli seeds were bred for heat resistance, so it holds better in summer heatwaves and is extremely slow bolting. What that means for the gardener is less urgency when harvesting from mid-summer to the fall. The dome-shaped heads of this outstanding variety are uniform, deep green, and very tasty. The large plants are tolerant of powdery mildew, and productive even in cool weather. After the main head is harvested, lots of small but delicious side shoots are produced, extending the harvest potential for the home gardener. Gypsy is a proven performer , and a dependable variety for us in Northern Alberta.

Grower note: Highly recommend using our worm casting products at planting or as a foliage application during growing season to prevent pest pressure  (it’s what we do on the Hotchkiss Flower Farm to combat pests). Alternatively, floating row cover is recommended to have success growing all brassicas in our climate against cabbage worms.
