It takes about 4 weeks to grow a seed to seedling stage to transplant. And it is time consuming - watering 2-3 times a day. Miss a day or so and the seedlings could be dead. Plant seeds now and it takes about 12-16 weeks to grow to pick. You are looking at July Aug for harvest. I live sub tropical and most vegies do not grow much in July Aug. You are temperate so they will grow less probably. SO you plant SEEDLING this time of the year. A general rule sub tropical and probably temperate (no frosts) is for winter veg you plant late summer and for summer veg you plant late winter/very early spring. I will be picking my first broccoli next week.
