purple sprouting broccoli

souter · 2007-11-20 10:18:29

Hi, I planted some of this early in the year. They are now massive (c. 5') but appart from one plant are not showing anything floret - like. The one that is I've had a few meals out of already, should I give the others some more time or chop them?

no, don't chop them.
we didn't get our broccoli till early spring last year. it was great. and the more we ate the more grew. we must have had fresh broccolie at least till May.
think i've planted the broccoli too late this year, they're still pretty small, but fingers crossed they'll produce in the spring!
