One of my broccoli plants is about to flower. Googling has revealed that I
should nip the flowers if I want to have a chance of harvesting some
broccoli. There is only one bud which is not even golf ball size! What
would cause it to flower so early in the season? I'm in the North East
where it has been cool and rainy for the early part of the summer. Now it
is mid-80s and mostly sunny. Is that why?
