Will My Broccoli Actually Produce Anything Now?

Question

I planted my purple sprouting broccoli in the Autumn. It has grown but I’ve still not seen any sign of actual broccoli. Is it too late now or do I just need to be patient.

Answer 1

There are a few possible problems. Check each one of your growing conditions against the info in this article – soil, sun exposure, fertilizing, etc. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/broccoli/how-to-grow-broccoli.htm
If all of these conditions are met, and there are definitely a few of them, then perhaps patience is in order. Also, if you've had any extreme temperature fluctuations lately – a heat wave or a cold spell, this could affect your broccoli's growth, as well.
