Kick off your garden with plant starts from Chicken Little Farm. All plant starts will be timed to be ready for May Long weekend (May 16, 2026), typically in 4-inch nursery pots. Preordering will help me know how many of each variety to start, ensure that the plants you want are available, and provide a 10% discount for each plant. Pickup will be in Treherne, either on one of 2-3 set days in May or as arranged individually.
Days to maturity: 62
Photo and description from seed supplier:
"Gypsy broccoli was bred for heat resistance, so it holds better in summer heatwaves and is extremely slow bolting. What that means for the gardener or grower 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 have intermediate resistance to powdery mildew and are productive even in cool weather. After the main head is harvested, lots of small but delicious side shoots are produced, extending the harvest potential."
