Broccoli

My broccoli has little yellow flowers on them. Is this a sign that I did not harvest them in time? Is the broccoli still going to be edible or is the crop ruined? This is my first time growing broccoli, so I really need to know so I do not repeat mistakes.

It has bolted. Whiel you can still eat it, the broccoli will be very bitter tasting. It’s best to just pull them. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/broccoli/bolting-broccoli-growing-broccoli-in-hot-weather.htm ^[1]
