That's your purple sprouting broccoli - about a week after you should have picked and eaten it!

[Two_Sheds]

It's a bolted (flowering) brassica

[Snadger]

Looks a bit like like oilseed rape? So common in the fields these days it's becoming a bit of a weed!

But maybe not..........just spotted the purple bits (embarassed icon)

Purple Sprouting Broc.....some of mine is looking like that now!

[mattyod]

i forgot to mention its only the main plant with just the yellow flowers, i know about the purple sprouting broccolli, and ive got a cabbage behing it, but i just don't know what the other one is.

We had some broccoli raab that looked like that when it went to seed.

That's what my raab looks like too.

It does look like my Kale Nero Di Toscana which got yellow flowers and dark blue leaves.

All brassicas look pretty much the same once flowered...

Hmm.. again, I didn't realise they grew so large I'm going to have some serious thinning out to do shortly!!

If thats a PSB.........its a baby one!!!!!!! Can grow 4/5 foot high and about 3 foot wide!

Don't the raab have green florets before they flower?

Certainly looks like PSB to me, the photo is taken from above and I think the plant may be larger than it looks.

The "florets" on mine were so tiny that I didn't think it was ready, then the next minute the flowers opened.

it looks the same as a cabbage of mine that has bolted.
