Grant Recipient: Rebecca Grube, University of New Hampshire, Durham NH
An English vegetable, winter sprouting broccoli, will be tested for its potential as a late winter and early spring crop in New England. The project manager will work with cooperating farmers to identify barriers, explore which varieties are best, the effect of row covers in a unheated tunnel, and how planting dates affect yield. Trials will be refined according to specific farm conditions, and the plan also includes twilight meetings, workshops, and a fact sheet.
