Transplanting Broccoli seedlings into a Fabric Pot
When I initially decided to use grow bags in my garden this year, I had planned to only plant one seedling per pot. I had read that broccoli does well in a 5 gallon pot. However, just prior to transplanting these seedlings, I decided to research just a bit more, because I have been really wanting to utilize my garden in a way that allows me the most possible growth!
In doing my research I came across this article:
https://gardenerspath.com/plants/vegetables/grow-broccoli-containers/
It mentioned that you can grow multiple broccoli plants in one pot, though it may lead to smaller broccoli heads, it will also likely produce side shoot heads later on. I personally tested my boundaries just a bit with the suggestions from the article. While it suggested planting 3 plants in an 18inch wide pot, a minimum of 12 inches deep, I opted to plant 4 plants in a 15 inch wide, 12 inch deep pot. Honestly, I only did this because A. I love to experiment and see how I can get the MOST out of my space, B. I had just 4 seedlings and was being stingy with my space, C. I can always try again in the fall so it was worth the risk to see how it goes or GROWS!
I'll be sure to touch back on their growth as time goes on. I suspect I will need to water this pot pretty regularly given broccoli likes cooler temps and the 4 broccoli plants may absorb the water more quickly. Not to mention it is a black pot, which works against the temp and moisture elements of this pot.
All in all, in the fall when I have less need for gardening space, I will more than likely plant just two plants in a 10 gallon pot. But will use multiple pots to plant many broccoli seedlings. We eat a lot of broccoli, so I would be willing to utilize much more of my gardening space to grow broccoli in the fall!
Wish me luck!
