Broccoli 'Green Sprouting Calabrese' is earlier than purple sprouting , and it doesn't require overwintering to produce heads. The 4" main heads mature before the side shoots, extending the harvest. Excellent flavor. Easy to grow.
With only 6 plants, we harvested enough broccoli to eat almost every day from mid summer to late fall.
Heirloom from Calabria, Italy in the 1800's.?
