Default Broccoli

Why is it that you can still grow broccoli at this time of the year but
can't buy the seedlings here in Sydney?
Cheers, Pete

Default Broccoli

g'day pete,

yes they can still be grown, but the days are getting pretty hot now
so they will want to bolt pretty quickly and also the bugs are out in
full force, but if you have a cooler spot and cover them with mossy
type netting than why not grab some seeds?
