Back in 2009, my wife grew some Romanesco Broccoli, as I posted on this group. It had great taste and texture in addition to a very interesting, fractal shape:

We haven't been able to grow it since then. The plant grows but it doesn't head. The other varieties of broccoli put out a good crop, but these seem to be a one-hit wonder. Has anyone grown these successfully? Do you use any special techniques to get them to head?

they might be more sensitive to heat and
dry spells than other broccoli varieties.
i do know it has been hotter and dryer the
past few seasons here.
