any ideas? thanks



It looks to me like the broccoli is mature and is going to seed. How long
ago was it planted? Broccoli likes fairly cool temps.

This article has a quotation that may apply: "Broccoli will continue to
produce new florets so a single plant will produce over a month or so. Cut
the middle head off first, when it's compact. Don't wait for it to loosen
and any signs of yellow flowers forming. Always cut the heads off the stem
on an angle so rainwater cannot collect and rot the remaining stem"
