Marathon
Broccoli Seeds
(Hybrid) 70-75 days
Large, dense flower heads are attractively dome-shaped with small beads. Marathon is well-suited for late summer and fall crops; will overwinter for spring harvest in mild winter climates. Sturdy, upright hybrid plants grow 30-36 in. tall and 40-45 in. wide.
Growing Marathon Broccoli Seeds
Plant Broccoli Seeds: Sow broccoli seed in cell packs or flats ½ in. deep, 4 to 6 weeks prior to setting out. Space 10 to 18 in. apart. Can direct sow ½ in. deep, in rows 18 to 36 in. apart. Thin to 8 to 18 in. apart. Kept at 65-75°F., germination is in 7-14 days.
Grow Broccoli: Broccoli is a cool season vegetable that (in our relatively mild climate) we plant in fall, winter and spring. In cold-winter areas broccoli is planted in April and May and even through mid July if the summers are mild. Harvest before the flower buds open. Once the center head is cut, side shoots develop and will produce continuously when harvested regularly.
