Broccoli - why hello there little dude!

If you have other broccoli's that are younger than this, I suggest you look into pinching the broccoli stem this way you get larger side shoots.

Watch it carefully in the summer heat, it will go from great picking to flowered before you get home from work that day. Cut the main head off when its packed tightly still.

Where are you? I'm in Va and ours just started producing this week. I figured it was too hot and pretty much just left our plants in the ground not expecting much. Went out and noticed that it was finally doing something!
