Growing Broccoli in Containers - 5 Easy Tips // Growing Your Fall Garden #9

[@eleanorerosanova7538]

I grew Brocoli in a sunny window. First they were very leggy. However the second time I grew seedlings I used a seedling mix and pressed down the soil and the seedlings grew fuller snd less leggy.

[@marishavilla]

I have been growing broccoli in containers for a couple of years with good results. I will be using the Trifecta from now on for larger heads. My zone is 8, so I get 2 plantings. Thanks for the video.

[@pamjones6465]

I didn't know the broccoli could take 20 degree temperatures. Interesting to know. I love the smart pots. Definitely a great tip. Thank you immensely.

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Pam, it is surprisingly cold hardy! Are you growing any this year? The Smart Pots are easy to move if the weather doesn't cooperate. Have a great weekend - thanks for stopping by!

[@mikmiklexi1366]

I love broccoli.. a couple of hour ago I was thinking of planting broccoli and this is a good timing.. thanks for this video

[@CaliKim29]

Perfect, Mikmik. A quick weekend project - keep me posted on how your broccoli grows. Thanks for stopping by!

Have learned a lot about planting broccoli.love the preparation I will prepare mine the way you prepare yours I am living in linden town Guyana south America warm climate broccoli take time to grow thanks 🙏 for sharing

[@lourabrown4236]

I will be growing broccoli this year . I just planted my first plant

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Wow… am I late!!! Hi Kim! I’ll be growing broccoli for the first time this year! I started it indoors already, but I didn’t realize it would germinate so quickly. It’s still small, but it’s growing under my grow lights. We won’t have our last frost until late February or early March. I’ll have to check to be sure, but I’ll harden them off and plant them outside in containers, three plants per container. I’ve been watching your videos for several years now. You, CaliCamera Guy, and Gary. Thank you so much for sharing your gardening journey! I truly appreciate the knowledge you are offering. Donna Grow Zone 8B Coastal Georgia

You could use one of them cloth reusable bags you get at the grocery store for $5

[@ladaminuetkittens5216]

The price of the bag plus the price of the soil plus the price of the fertilizer, plus the price of the seedling (your local Home Depot sells one plant for $ 4.49) or the price of growing the seedling at home and that after all that effort and three months of watering you MAY have one broccoli. IF IT GROWS THE HEAD - WHICH IN SAN DIEGO WEATHER MOSTLY DOES NOT. I guess the price of that single broccoli exceeds $50. But it will be organic. Look at Patrick Dolan in IL - One Yard Revolution . That is frugal gardening.

[@shangosankofa9560]

Broccoli! One if my favorite! I will be experimenting with growing indoors this winter. Do you have any tips for me?

[@NaturalTiger]

Came back to rewatch. 🙂. Transplanting broccoli today. Hoping I'm ok with three in a 24" round felt bed. I've got four more to do. Running out of potting mix and can't get more till Thursday. Ugh! Hahaha

I love your channel. You're a wealth of information.

Hi Kim excellent channel but I have a ❓ why do my 🥦 in containers start wilting when I put them in the ☀️. Temps are 50 day and 30 at night I need help

[@josephmontanio9274]

Kali Kim I love your posts not to mention your super cute.

[@jackiehopper5890]

I love broccoli I grow it in the fall

[@LindaPenney]

Awesome update thank you for sharing blessing thank you for your time

[@tara_a_santiago]

I need to get my hands on a few of these smart pots and give them a try on my back porch, they are perfect with the handles...Maybe we will give Brocoli a shot again, we skipped it this past summer but did it the two previous.

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Tara, I love growing in my Smart Pots, the ability to be portable is huge for me with our winter hot spells! If you order through this link, amzn.to/2cIm00u, it does help me out! Let me know if you try them!

Gosh, you have wimpy broccoli if it can only take 20 degrees. Up here in the great white north, we'll put coats & hats on ours and they over-winter until next spring, altho' one year, I did have a broccoli that started banging on my door to come in overnight, but it had too many bugs so I kicked it out. It died,(sigh). On a more serious note, beautiful transplant! No broc this year but I'm planning next years garden, just will need to get a "few" more buckets so I can do some.

[@Brandoify]

And what good are 🧥 and 🎩 without the matching monocle 🧐

[@mrsmincey9731]

great information I'm trying broccoli this year also hope I get a harvest here in Georgia with all this warm weather still , I hope mine turn out well

[@kirkb2596]

I so enjoy watching your videos 👍👍

[@CaliKim29]

Hi, Kirk! So glad you are enjoying the videos- are you trying broccoli in your garden this season?

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Great video! Thanks for sharing as always! I still need to get my hands on some of those gorgeous smart pots with the handles you have! I'm trying to wait until we move into our new house, which should be in a few months thankfully and finally lol. I am actually working on starting my own nonprofit organization that will allow me to help people in need all over the world. But that being said, I need to pan out some finances first and I just want you to know, it's one of the first things on my must need and have list for the garden!! 🤗

[@donnamaewilson9735]

What can I do? I planted my broccoli and it has grown up and the head was 1 inch across and it has started blooming!!! What do I need to do? Should Icut it back? It has great sun and I have kept it watered....what to do????

[@shakerasalar5404]

You’re video r quite inspiring informative love 💖 it

[@eleanorerosanova7538]

I read that Broccoli gets club root so one needs go firm down the soil prior to planting.

[@datcampg9297]

I enjoyed your video. Thank You.

[@teresanorrell9290]

What fertilizer did you use? I can't find it in your link

[@AshesInsane]

Oof that background music did you dirty in the end lol

[@lic4269]

Why why why why are you using styrofoam cups???????????

[@ThePlomolady]

@calikim What fertilizer did you use for brocolli? I would love to try it this fall. I live in Central Valley.

[@CaliKim29]

Thanks so much, Catalin. Any gardening projects going on this weekend?

[@catalinoancea6601]

ofcourse l

[@GirlMomma]

What do you recommend to combat whatever bugs (those white broccoli moths/worms I've been reading about, I assume🤷‍♀️) are eating holes in all of my beautiful broccoli leaves? So far I have tried going out with a black light flashlight at night trying to find a worms to plug them off, but I've never found any. And I've tried sprinkling sluggo pellets. This is probably a really stupid question, but it's my first garden and I was wondering once all my broccoli leaves have the holes that they do in them, throughout the growing season those will never go away, right? Or would I need to just throw my plants away? There are about 3-5 dime size holes in every huge leaf.😔

[@carolrayfield2275]

Have you planted three plants there ? ?

[@skatingcanuck9837]

I wanted to order some beautiful purple SMART POTS after seeing them on your channel. Unfortunately SMART POTS has decided to make them unavailable to their Canadian customer base :(. I have asked several retailers, but SMART POTS won't be flexible on this.

[@faizali206]

Hey! I need some information. 🙋🏼‍♂️

[@worship6645]

Hello there Kim, is broccoli only a one-time harvest? I am currently growing baby broccoli (broccolini). Thanks so much for any help! I appreciate your channel.

[@enterusername8878]

I love broccoli and cheese

[@CaliKim29]

The best! Are you growing any broccoli?

[@enterusername8878]

CaliKim29 Garden & Home DIY no but I do like growing pumpkins

[@galaxyash7360]

I am living in Kuwait , can we use any type of mud for broccoli ?

[@AsintheDaysofNoah]

Broccoli has always been a failure in my raised bed. But to be honest.... Buying that large container, the soil , and if one needs to buy the plant, that is awfully expensive broccoli. I realize you will be reusing the container, but how long will it take to even break even? I'll try to put them in my existing planting areas. Maybe cover with shade cloth when California has our hot winter days. Thanks for that tip....

[@CaliKim29]

I understand what you are saying - saving money in the garden is very important. However, the Smart Pots containers are very reasonable, this black version of this container with handles is under $15, and it will last forever! I purchase soil suitable for containers in bulk at a a local soil company for $35 a yard. Even if you purchase bagged soil, it can be refreshed and reused from season to season, as I show in this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZPTZ4eoob52pMU. One reason I do like growing broccoli in containers here in So Cal is that they are so convenient to move when our winter days get hot, as you mentioned. Hope this helps give you an idea of how container growing can be very economical - let me know if you give it a try!

[@intuit5767]

And don't forget, after harvesting the main head, side shoots continue producing smaller heads...AND the leaves are delicious too!

[@bm5906]

0:50 Doesn't a 1ft diameter circle have an area of1/2 * 1/2 * 3.14 = 0.78 sq feet? Win a depth of 1 foot, that gives 0.78 cubic feet, not 2 cubic feet.

[@flabbyduck6542]

Hi Kim!!!!!

[@CaliKim29]

Hello - how's the garden coming along?

[@galaxyash7360]

What was the name of soil you mentioned , I didn’t get you , from where do u buy this soil ?

[@BenjasUberHobby]

Well guess I need to get my Broccoli in the ground too :) I dont have a 15 gallon container do you think i can get away with planting my broccoli in a blue reusable walmart bag?

[@KonjikiKonjiki]

Hi Benja, I've been trying out container gardening in grow bags and shopping bags. The WalMart blue bags are only about 7 gallons in size. Last year I grew zucchini and cucumber plants in 15, 10, and 7 gallon grow bags and while the ones in the 7 gallon bags grew, there was a marked difference in productivity. Best of luck with your garden this year! ^_^

[@BenjasUberHobby]

Thank you for the info :)

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Me too! I'm starting to plant my January cool weather vegetables and herbs in containers right now. Can't wait because I just found a really good soil from burpee

[@NaturalTiger]

I am growing in Walmart bags too. The bags I'm using when filled are almost 24" around in diameter. (About 24"x18" wide but the way the mix settles rounds them out.)

[@aemt444]

I'm a brand new 'gardener" probably shouldn't even claim that title because this is my first year ever. I live in NY and I wanted to start with sweet peppers tomatos probably cherry and then I thought broccoli because my 3 year old loves it. I like the smart pots idea but I'm curious how big of a bag of soil will I need to fill the 13 gallon pot. The soil I have bought so far has been in cubic feet so I don't know how that translates . and Id love to see the end result of your broccoli do you have any links?

[@shakerasalar5404]

Hi I love you’re videos I follow u on KZbin would like to know where to buy all that fertiliser plant food u show us while planting vegetables etc please thanks 💖👍

[@jennifertaylor6026]

Would love to see a video on what you do with the veges when you harvest em, whether you cook em or preserve em. Always looking forward to your videos! And also wanted to know how you handle pest control on your kale, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower, I'm having a bit of trouble on them already, those darn bugs have already gotten on there and laid some eggs and I'm not exactly sure what kind of bugs they are.

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Jimhl, I do have a playlist called "Garden to Table", that you would enjoy, kzbin.info/aero/PLH4z_9MDD00K-twPLGjX_VARErCpicYAy. Let me know if you try any recipes! Stay tuned for some pest control videos as well.

Why didn’t you plant it in the middle of the pot?

Kim....Aphids attack my broccoli so badly here in the NW. It's so bad that I haven't planted it for a couple years. Do you have these issues?

[@CaliKim29]

Hello Dolly, always a bummer to see those aphids on your plants. I first wash off aphids with a stream of water, then spray with Neem Oil, I get mine from Gary at The Rusted Garden, therustedgarden.blogspot.com/p/100-cold-pressed-neem-oil-for-sale.html. You do have to spray regularly, or even preventatively for best results. Hope this helps!

[@tara_a_santiago]

His Neem Oil has been a savior in keeping Aphids off my plants!

[@dollyperry540]

Maybe I'll try it next year :)

[@mirzastore]

i like you

[@katestransky2031]

Don't use styrofoam.

[@prathibay2256]

This is just waste of money to grow one broccoli plant in 15 gallon container . You would be spending more than $10 where you can get 10 broccoli heads at store ... 😂
