Broccoli: De Cicco
Image from Seed Saver’s
From Seed Saver’s:
“An Italian broccoli introduced to the United States in 1890. Compact 2-3' plants produce a 4" central head. After the central head is harvested, a second yield of edible side shoots will develop. It is quite variable in its maturity, which creates an extended harvest time—a quality home gardeners may appreciate.”
Good for: fresh eating, steaming, boiling, baking, soup, freezing.
