I made the same mistake. I figured as long as I left the broccoli in the ground, it would just keep getting bigger and better instead of rotting in my refrigerator. When I went outside, all my broccoli had gone to see. Big bummer!Cheers, Matt You hit the nail on the head, Don. I made the same mistake.

Half my broccoli are in a low spot and look exactly as they were a couple months ago. The other half, on a higher spot, are doing fabulous and are actually starting to look like broccoli.My tomatoes are also doing really well. I have to be sure and check them daily otherwise the grow too fast and split before I have a chance to eat them.My carrots are very unsatisfying. I can't see them growing, what with them being underground and all. Never again will I grow a sub-surface vegetable. What is the fun in that?Cheers, Matt Kerami, we have been getting a lot of rain here in South Florida. Half my broccoli are in a low spot and look exactly as they were a couple months ago.

That is, if you're a complete nerd like I am... :)Be careful- these guys love to run to seed and I've seen it happen in Carl's parent's raised beds. Since the roots only have so far to go, the broccoli matures with smaller heads. If you start to see the little flower buds in the heads turn a little brown, go ahead and harvest them. I couldn't believe how much better home grown broccoli tastes than store bought- even the color is better!But if you're curious (or again, nerdy) and leave a head to watch, broccoli develops really cool little yellow flowers (at least mine did) and sort of sparks out all over the place like a tiny bouquet.
