Purple Sprouting Brocolli

My PSB is about 2ft tall.  Did I plant it too early or have I given it too much water?  Will it crop? :?
Even with judicious watering it has been so dry and hot that my Rocket and Radish have seeded  :(

How tall should it get then? Mine's more than 2 foot, and it is bulging out of the netting, no sign of sprouts though. In fact it's monstrous.

Slightly off topic, there's a house for sale here [20 mns away] 4 Beds detatched large with a garden of 1,400 sq m for less than 50K. Good growing soil here.
