Broccoli Head Issue

This year I had all my broccoli plants develop heads with lots of leaves pushing up between the individual flower clumps – to the point that I did not get any normal broccoli heads. Same thing with the side sprouts – although there were very few of these. Essentially, I lost my crop. My father has a garden near mine and had the same thing. What is going on? Is there a fix?
