To plant Waltham 29 broccoli seeds, choose a sunny, well-drained spot and prepare the soil by loosening it and adding compost. Sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 12 to 18 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist during the 5 to 10 day germination period, thinning the seedlings once they emerge to maintain spacing. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds, fertilizing every 4 to 6 weeks. Monitor for pests like aphids, applying control measures as needed. Harvest the broccoli heads when firm, cutting just below the heads to encourage continued production.
