broccoli ?

[SteveJ]

I know this is a fishing site but I have a ? for gardeners. Once you cut out the head of broccoli will it put out another or is that it?

[beagler]

It'll grow smaller spears. Not as big as the main one but similar to the way cabbage grows.

Some varieties are better than others, but if you keep it watered and fed, you will get plenty of side shoots at the leaf nodes as long as your weather stays cool. They tend to bolt quicker than your main head, so check daily.
My brocolli didn't do spit this year - too hot and dry. - Roberta

Have you heard the old joke about the difference between brocolli and bugars? Kids wont eat brocolli.

[Roberta]

When you set out your potatoes next year, wrap each piece in a tissue before you set it in the hill.



It keeps the dirt out of their eyes. - Roberta

Is that a clean tissue or the one kids ate the bugers out of???
