Brassica Oleracea var. Italica 'Autumn Spear'

Think I need to start growing my Broccoli in Hydroponics units to try and stop them #bolting, in the heat we’re having in #Edinburgh now. I’m researching to start local workshops on Hydroponics at the mo, anyone got any good story’s? Legal ones 😆 Hydroponics is the future for us, urban folk #gyo food, what do you all Garden Tags folks think ? Thanks #naomi126 #broccoli-sprouting #urban #foodforfutureuse #research @teamgardentags any chance ask folk about there Hydro & Permaculture 💋

My Wee Autumn Spear Broccoli has sprung from seeds I collected last year. That plant grew in straw bails brilliantly .. Great for wind chill prone plants.. Very snug and productive etc

Hi Naomi. do you have any tips for getting seeds to grow. i wanted to grow cucumbers and peppers but no luck. shpuld i get a propagator?

You don't need to buy a propagater @Dianemcauliffe but it makes a huge help in the keeping toastie to germinate front. I use any container spare with a clear lid. An old ikea under bed box or for smaller windowsill ones use old sweet shop jars.. For cucumbers wait until the next full moon ( not a hippy swear ) it's simple science promise ! It will help the juices get going for germination , it's never failed me .. Oh and it will have warmed up a bit by then .. Hope that helps

Oh and @Dianemcauliffe soak the larger seeds like cucumbers for a couple of hours in water that's had a 1/4 of aspirin displaced in it- cucumbers will romp! @Dianemcauliffe 😜

Thank you so much. :-)
