Evening All
Been watering at the plot and noticed several of our Brocolli plants have a nice looking head on them in the centre of the plant...about fist size at a geuss.
When is it best to harvest them ?...will they bolt like a cauli if left too long ? and finally do they only produce one head or after been cut will it re-grow another ?
Poor thing seems to have put a lot of efforet in for only one head if thats the case ??

Thanks Chris

If it`s big enough to use Chris, then cut it. They will keep coming.

Yes, and isn't it the case that if you leave it, rather than putting more florets out, it'll just flower (bolt), and then as far as the plant is concerned it's done it's business & it's all over? We've harvesting PSB and are cutting it back about once a week at the moment.

Thanks for thr advice....as a complete novice it really is much appreciated.
Looks like Brocolli from the plot is now on this weeks menu...yum yum yum
