When to sow broccoli in the UAE
Broccoli is a cool-season crop. Sow in trays from late September to November, transplant after four to six weeks, and harvest from about December to March. Heads that form after temperatures climb in spring tend to loosen and flower quickly, so early sowing pays off.
Growing tips
- Plant in full sun in beds enriched with compost; sandy soil needs organic matter to hold water and nutrients.
- Space plants about 45 cm apart and water steadily, as stress leads to small, early heads.
- Feed with a nitrogen-rich vegetable fertilizer during leafy growth.
- After cutting the main head, keep harvesting the side shoots for several more weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can broccoli grow in the UAE summer?
No. Heat makes it bolt before forming a good head, so grow it between October and March.
What does “sprouting” broccoli mean?
Sprouting varieties produce a main head followed by many smaller side shoots, giving a longer harvest from each plant.
