Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I water Braddock during its main growth phase?

During the main growth phase, keep the root zone evenly moist by watering about 1–2 times per week, giving enough water to moisten the top 6–8 inches of soil. Let the surface dry slightly between waterings, but don’t allow the soil to dry out more than about an inch deep—Braddock will suffer and fruit/heads can develop poorly. Mulch helps stabilize moisture, reducing the swings that trigger stress and disease.

How can I tell when Braddock is ready to harvest?

Start checking around day 110, or earlier if your conditions are consistently warm. Harvest when the plants reach full size and the crop-specific maturity signs are met: for example, look for firm, fully developed heads/produce with the characteristic color for Braddock and no lingering “green” immaturity. If you’re unsure, cut one sample plant—if the interior is fully filled and firms up after a day, harvest the rest promptly to avoid quality decline.
