Growing Broccoli

View the Broccoli page

02 May 12 Diane Bailey (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
I live near Coffs Harbour on the mid-north coast. I have never been successful in growng broccoli or cauliflower. Can they be grown in polystyrene boxes or planted into the garden. What type of fertilizer etc. should be used? I have no idea as to what I have been doing wrong. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
