Sounds like it's running to seed, should have been harvested sooner, but I understand from another thread that you've been out of action.

They're still edible, but don't look as good.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Sounds like they've bolted.

Caulis prefer cooler weather & loads of water.

I tend to grow them in the earlier part of the year only.
