Hi,

I bought some Broccoli seedlings a couple of months back and they are now
quite large with plenty of flowers on them.

..... I really have no idea of how broccoli should be grown, any ideas
would
be great.

Cheers

Yeah, everything Angela said... cos of this post i actually cut the top
of the most successful of the seedlings i bought - i missed the other
one, and am waiting for its seeds - and when i cut the top off, i
noticed two very fat caterpillars nearly beat me to it! Also, a while
afterwards, when i next looked at it, a large gob of water had collected
where it had been cut, so i got the two largest leaves and folded them
over; not sure if i should have just let the hot hot sun dry off the
water, but i don't think so.

i got all-year round seedlings, but apparently they don't like full sun,
and hence this procedure of putting the leaves over the middle, altho
i'm not sure if anyone (let alone the plant) would appreciate me doing
it with a clothes peg!
