| why is my Broccli not heading out thick like the store bought? the one that headed out i thought it was going to get thicker but then it started flowering so i cut it. Im a rookie gardener whats wrong with my brocoli? |

Quoted:
It is bolting. It got too warm. Yeah, you have to cut it when it does that. 90% of mine does pretty good though, even in hot weather. I've noticed a difference in where I plant it in the garden though. Some places just do better than others. I plant quite a bit of it because it freezes well. |

Im not sure what kind it is i didnt keep the packaging. Ive got a good head growing on another plant. three other plants almost got ate in one day by tiny tiny black bugs. Sevin took care of them and the plants are recovering.
So does an early frost not affect broccolli? |

Survived just fine –– heck I couldn't see any frost damage. |
