October 5, 2012Q.Broccoli Growing
My broccoli is tall and leggy now. I managed to harvest a few specimens and pinched out tops hoping for more harvest later on or has temperature dropped too much now? Will new growth commence through the winter to harvest next May?

Certified ExpertA.Broccoli does not typically regrow after harvesting, so you'll have to plant more if you want an additional crop.

Certified ExpertA.It really depends on when it was planted and your location, as some areas harvest broccoli on into Nov.-Jan. for fall plantings and springs plantings in summer. Here is growing and harvesting info for broccoli plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/broccoli/how-to-grow-broccoli.htm

January 31, 2013Q.Spinach Plants and Broccoli Plants
Why would either of these plants grow with a center stalk growing taller than leaves with yellow flowers. Both plants have different styles of flowers but both are yellow. I took some pictures but didn't know how to post them.

January 31, 2013A.Your broccoli and spinach are "bolting". These articles explain bolting: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/vgen/what-is-bolting-what-it-means-when-a-plant-bolts.htm

February 24, 2013A.Some varieties will have "side-shoots". The description of each variety usually states if it produces these. They are smaller, but just as tasty. They are harvested and prepared in the same manner. Packman broccoli is a variety I've grown for 30 plus years and it has a lot of side-shoots. The main harvest produces a smaller head than that of Premium Crop. Premium Crop has a larger main head, but not many side-shoots. These two varieties are but a few available.

March 17, 2013Q.Do I Transplant Seedlings to Larger Containers Before Ground?
I have broccoli, bell and chili pepper and onion seedlings in a 72 Burpee Super Growing tray. Do I need to transplant these too larger containers before the ground?

March 17, 2013A.A 72 count cell is awfully small to grow plants for garden planting. You should have a larger soil ball with superior roots along with a stronger stem from not being so crowded. Ideally, you could plant all three in individual 3-4 inch containers when the 72 plug is full of roots. (We go from plug tray to a 36 count tray and then into a 3.5' pot for the peppers. We do not bump broccoli or onions up from a 36.) We also harden off the transplants in 5-6 hours sun before putting in garden.

September 20, 2013Q.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?
