A super-productive Italian heirloom organic De Cicco broccoli is an excellent choice for extended harvests and freezes well for future cooking. Vigorous cool-loving plants yield 3-4 blue-green heads—good for steaming sautéing and roasting. Pick broccoli when the heads have tight firm buds; this happens about 50-60 days after transplanting broccoli seedlings. The homegrown flavor of this nutritious tree-like vegetable is beyond compare to anything in the supermarket!
