Title: Brocoli
Post by: SueSteve on July 08, 2007, 06:09:26
I am not sure what has happened to my brocoli!
On friday I had a very small loose head on one plant about an inch square in size, I thought it would get bigger and I would have a nice crown, but yesterday it had flowered yellow flowers!
Shoudl I cut the flower head off?
Is that it, has it bolted with no crop?

Good one.

Das Boot? Me too, but soul-wrenching.

we usually cut the main head off and get smaller spears from the plant, just done it to two calabrese today, might get some useful spears ?  :)
