Has anyone had any luck with their brocoli in Newcastle upon Tyne area.  Mine is high and healthy looking but I have no sign of any florets!  Planted from small plants from garden centre about June.

It depends what sort it is.  If it's purple sprouting brocolli, which I suspect it is, it will start producing Feb/March next year depending on what variety it is.

Brocoli? brocolli? Does someone mean broccoli?

they all taste same. wonderful vegetable(s).

Yes, if you're a pedant. It all starts with a missing 'c' or an extra 'l', and before we know where we are there's the global acceptance of the grocer's apostrophe by the entire English-speaking world. Shock! Horror!

Banana's anyone?

I will grow these this year brussel sprouts and cauliflower. heard these are difficult to grow but i will give it a try and see what i get.

would be interesting to know if there is any special technique to growing these?

We sowed seed in situ in late may and got a lovely crop of large heads in late summer,since then they have been producing lots of small but delicious florets...last weekend we picked half a carrier bag full,and they are still growing!........Suspect ours are officially calibraise rather than broccoli though :blink:
