Q.Broccoli Bolting
This is my first time gardening and have just realized my broccoli has ‘bolted’. I didn’t do my homework and made a mistake of planting it too soon. Is there any way to stop or reverse the bolt process? Now that it has ‘bolted’, can I still get a yield from the plant?

Unfortunately, you cannot stop the bolting process now and the crop won't be any good, much too bitter. For future reference, however, these articles should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/broccoli/bolting-broccoli-growing-broccoli-in-hot-weather.htm
