Waltham 29, Broccoli

Heirloom Broccoli | QTY: 30 Seeds | 80 Days

Mom used to grow this variety, then later when I got my own garden, so did I.  It is very dependable and has longer stems than many more modern varieties.  These stems are tender and tasty and I use lots to make cheddar cheese and broccoli soup.  The beads are medium to large and the main head is usually about 5 inches in diameter or so with tons of nice side shoots until freezing.
