What are you spraying for? Green caterpillars? You can put derris dust on them.

This family of plants needs lots of fertilizer. Lots of dynamic lifter, seasol, or animal manure. Liquid fertilizer is great.

I think that broccoli and cauliflower start to head about the same time. 60 to 90 days - just taking a guess.

My broccoli heads are being eaten at night by an unknown critter,we live on the banks of the Nambucca River.We do have a resident bandicoot but i'm not sure if they eat greenery,maybe its water rats,they dont eat the main head but after that is picked they devour the small florets,does anyone know how to stop them.
