Hi i planted my broc early spring and the green heads have formed but now they are flowering. can they still be eaten or am i too late and the plants life is over now?

The same thing has happened to me with my brocollis bolted . They were planted too early.

Any idea where I can get some more brocolli plants? I've tried the local garden centre/nurseries to no avail.

Think it too late to try start growing from seeds this yer - is it?

[blackisgreen]

try going some from seed what have you got to lose

Oops - I actually meant my brussel sprouts have bolted not brocolli.

[blackisgreen]

we all make mistakes try some from seed anyway ,perhaps try the dwarf brussels like noisette they might grow quicker

Sorry - edited cos I thought I knew where you could get some, but they have gone now.
