Broccoli and cauliflower
 

I picked the 1st crop from both broccoli and cauliflower. Since these
plants don't grow well in the heat, I am thinking of pulling the plants
out. But what can I plant in their place? I live in Maryland, zone 6.
Thank you.

There/s plenty-o-time left in the zone 6 growing season to...

-- sow seeds now --
green beans
squash
cucumber

-- transplant seedlings now --
tomato (short season varieties 55 - 65 days)
bell pepper
onion (90-day)

-- sow seeds next month --
Cos lettuce (sow seeds early August and/or set transplants early
September)
spinach (sow seeds mid-August)
cauliflower, cabbage, and broccoli (sow seeds late July of transplants
mid-August)

Time/s a-wasting, so you/d better get busy.

Huh?? You should have enough time for another broccoli flower set.
Keep those plants there and start ny new crop you might try in-between
them. In a month or so, the brocolli may be finished. You can tell
the time to pull the plants because the flowerettes will be small and
almost immediately leggy.
