Post Comments on: Broccoli planting time just around the corner

Reader comments and feedback for the Broccoli planting time just around the corner photo.

The word broccoli comes from the Latin bracchium, meaning arm[1], via the Italian braccio. Broccoli is a cultivar of wild cabbage, remaining exactly the same species. Wild cabbage originated along the northern and western coasts of the Mediterranean, where it was apparently domesticated thousands of years ago. That domesticated cabbage was eventually bred into wildly different cultivars, including broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, and brussels sprouts, all of which remain the same species.<br />
