Calabrase
« on: June 05, 2011, 12:28 »
I am growing calabrese for the first time and whilst they seem to have grown really well, I'm wondering if it is normal. It is plastered with flowers and I have plenty of bees about, but I can't see any heads forming. I have tried to attach a photo. Is there a chance it has bolted?

Oh Yus,

I think you can be certain it has bolted !

 :( Thank you!

May as well dig them up then and put something else in? Could I have done anything differently or is it just one of those things?

The tight buds before the flowers opened were the bits you should have eaten  :(

As above.

The heads must have formed if you've got flowers. You either missed them, or hoped they'd grow bigger!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
