Up to 85 days. Annual. Non-GMO seeds. The Waltham 29 is the variety of broccoli that Thomas Jefferson kept in his garden and is grown in many areas today. The Waltham 29 grows best in zones three to ten. These seeds will grow and produce largely sized heads. The tops of Waltham 29 broccoli heads have a rich green and blue color, and can be eaten in different ways, such as in a salad, or part of a stir fry. Broccoli is believed to have more properties that can fight cancer than other members of the cabbage family, making it a healthy and tasty crop to grow!
The Waltham 29 variety of broccoli is hardy and can be grown best in zones three to ten. You can start growing broccoli by sowing the seeds directly outside, one fourth of an inch deep, eighteen inches apart, with eighteen to thirty inches between the rows. The Waltham 29 broccoli needs full sun to thrive. During the first two weeks, the organic broccoli seeds will be germinating, and will need consistently moist soil. While growing, the broccoli seedlings’ soil will need to be moderately watered. It is recommended to water at ground level. Within eighty five days, the Waltham 29 broccoli will be mature and ready to harvest; by this time, the heads of the main shoot will have a diameter of about five to six inches. By cutting off the main head at this time, more side shoots/florets will be encouraged to grow.
