Default what is going on with my broccoli

I'm in central Texas. It's been a fairly mild spring. This is a new garden
I setup this year in the west part of the lawn. I added some organic
matter but he soil still has a lot of clay. The plants get about 6 to 8
hours of full sun. I've kept them well watered. I dont know much about
gardening but I think broccoli should have nice dence edible buds. The
onions in the back part of the picture are doing fine. The broccoli does
not look healthy to me.

any ideas? thanks


Broccoli is cool weather crop that is usually planted in the fall. I plant
in September. I harvest what I want, then let the plant go to flower. It
has the prettiest yellow flowers that attracts tons of bees.
