I think I read that too much nitrogen in the soil can cause this. Sorry. I don't know how to fix it.

Hi. I have had a lot of issues with cabbage moth and caterpillars in the past. I'm a lazy gardener, and would also like to use as few chemicals as possible. I have found dead bees in my garden before. Last year I bought a fine net to cover my crop, and it worked beautifully! The sun still gets through, but no bugs can get in. Well worth the investment, as it will last me several years. Bunnings sells a version, or you can get them online from Diggers. Look for the fine mesh netting, not the bird netting.

Tip is that you need 70 millimeters of water for Broccoli!

Your better of with the purple broccoli but I'd also give the green a go just to see. But the purple is more hardy.

Hi there Isiaka, I am in a cool growing are but this website gives guides to several different growing climates so I just changed the climate to Tropical and there it suggest to sow seeds in April and transplant seedlings in May June and July... you should have a look at the tropical location growing chart it may give you some info that suits your location. Happy gardening Jen

Snails and bugs have eaten the leaves off my cauliflower and broccoli :( is there anyway I can revive them? Or do I just rip them out and start over? I live in Victoria and have put down copper tape to stop the snails, please not I do not want to use any chemicals as I would like to grow organic :)
