How to plant Bonnie broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, and kohlrabi.

I heard that you should not plant cabbage and broccoli together, I do companion planting and supposedly plants are supposed to be happier and healthier if these two are not planted near one another.

does anyone know if sulforaphane is higher in powdered broccoli sprouts or fresh?

I read in an article fresh broc. sprouts contain a kind of inhibitor and according to this article powdered broc. sprouts are the best as far as sulforaphane levels go.

Yup, keep them in there until they are strong enough to survive outside after pot-to-ground transplant. Pots also holds temperature and moisture well. You also don't have to worry about the weather destroying the young seedling because you can move the pot inside :D.

I think most people do this because the weather outside is not warm enough for the specific plant. Or during the late Winter and early Spring (January - March), to get a head start on planting and harvesting, they germinate the seeds inside and then transplant them to a pot to later to wait for the proper temperature outside in-order to transplant them into the ground.
