Now the weather is cooler, your broc has got the message that it needs

You
can leave it there and collect the seeds, if you like.


i was hoping to eat it actually.


Didn't you say it had yellow flowers? If there are flowers, you've missed
the
boat -- we eat the buds.


i meant, it is growing them now (the bits which we ultimately eat) - hence,
my post about it :-) (i believe i used the word "flowering", oh dear).
