Should I Cover My Broccoli When Watering

Question

I have been told to cover my broccoli when watering to keep it from flowering, is this true?

Answer 1

No, it is not true. Water on the heads does not cause bolting. Bolting is typically caused by the roots getting too warm. This article will help you:
