g'day rob,

i live near brisbane queensland, and while we don't suffer frosts like
others even here in australia we do get them one reason why we like
living in sub-tropical east coast climates our biggest contender is
long hot dry summers, it was the black frost that did the most damage.

yes i let the first heads grow as big as they want to i pick them as
soon as the tops start feeling loose, i have harvested upo to 8 picks
from my broccolli, most second onward picks are no bigger than fist
size and anything smaller than that, i use it all the same way as the
first picks like eating broccolli in lots of ways. also always get to
share a lot of broccolli. the biggest one wa around 11"s across the
widest part.
