How to Save Seeds
Broccoli will cross pollinate with any member of the Brassica oleracea which includes cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and brussel sprouts so separate by 1 mile . It's best to leave these guys in the garden over winter since they are biennial. Simply let some of the heads remain on the stalk. Once spring arrives the heads left should go to seed. Once pods appear and are pick them for seed harvest but make sure not to wait.
