We planted this stuff in June 2008 and it's taken it's sweet time to arrive. But when it arrives you have got to be prepared.
We've got about 15 plants some early and some late spouting broccoli. Once the centre shoot develops a large head about two inches across you pick it out. (See below) This encourages the plant to produce lots of smaller heads all over the crown of the plant. Little purple spring fireworks everywhere.
I have the beginnings of a PSB glut. How is that a bad thing?We have to keep this netted or it escapes.
