Arrow grow it in shade

i grew broccoli in the northwest corner of the house
in the shade that gets maybe 3 hours of afternoon sun in pots
as an experiment and kept them well watered .
they grew all summer long....just fine!

where ever the snow was the last to melt in your garden area
is the coolest spot and that's where my big broccoli crop is going in

broccoli can take a frost easy..... cover the first true leaves with
a plastic cup anchored down with a rock on a night where the
frost is expected to hit and they'll be fine.
