I can hardly believe that I am still harvesting broccoli. I just picked a
head on one of the plants about 8" in diameter. This is at least the 5th or
6th picking from my plants, maybe more. I've lost count. Has anyone else's
broccoli produced all summer long? This is a first for me.

When I grow broccoli, I usually get small side shoots after the main
harvest. The stem where I cut the main head develops a hole in the
center, collects water and rots. Wish I could get even a second good
harvest. Congrats.

I am still harvesting broccoli, too. Mine has never lasted this long but many
things are growing different this year due to the weather. I have beautiful
pumpkin vines but no pumpkins. My glads are growing weird and my tomato plants
have tomatoes but the plants look bad. My okra is producing, but the plants are
only a couple of feet tall. Last year they were over 5' tall.

I grew broccoli for the first time this year (my sweetie loves it) and I've
been harvesting all summer long. Every day or two I get another batch that's
enough for a meal. Our summer here in south-central PA has been cool and
rainy and I suspect that has given me a lot more than I ever expected.
Lately though the heads have been getting smaller and the flowers opening
faster, but I've still got a few pickin's left.

Good to hear others are still picking. I get the side shoots and the
flowers open quicker but it seems every plant still produces a larger head.
I'm just amazed.

I wish I had saved the tag that was on the plants so I could get the same
variety next year. These plants produce the sweetest broccoli.

cheers,
