I am so very excited!

My broccoli are now recognisable by their small but perfectly formed young heads.

I am a true veggie growing convert now ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Congrats!!

mine i'm afraid were attacked by what i think were flea beetles, and still now look slightly ragged. i have had just no luck with any brassics last year or this one :(

hi there i had a similar problem last year, them ruddy things ate all mine and left a few leaves at the bottom, i haven't done any this year though, never mind i have got 11 tomato plants to contend to so i dont worry. i still got some lovely tasty broccoli.

Well done...but just a word of advice,keep a VERY close eye on them now cos they grow like mad once they have started to form and b4 you know it they have bolted :-\      Alan

Debs - they need WATER if you can give it.

And, unless they are a variety that have tightly enclosing leaves, pull off a bottom leaf & cover the curd with it. Watch out for earwigs.

And steam it, or eat it raw!! = Tim
