Can I give a tip on broccoli. when it starts out it gives one head out in the middle main stock. After you have harvested it starts to flower when those shoots come out cut them off before they flower. then a new head will grow where you have cut or pinched it off. You want to keep it from flowering and you will have broccoli until the snow flies. They will be small but very delicious and many.The more you keep it from flowering the more broccoli you will have. If it is still growing now I bet if you cut all the flowering off you still can get heads to grow. Broccoli is a vary hearty plant it likes the sun but it likes cool ground. I would plant 4-5 broccoli plants, the first head will be the biggest and every two to three days I would have another batch for the whole season, they flower after you pick, if you keep picking the flower off the more broccoli you will have.I have had broccoli stocks three to four inches in diameter. Happy growing
Great advice thank you!
