I've never grown broccoli but I remember reading that you have to keep a
close eye on it because once it flowers it's no good. It's the reason I

Gee, you should try it. It's a fast, easy, cold tolerant crop.
Anything that you don't eat fresh can go in the freezer -- it
freezes beautifully without a loss of quality.
