Hello, first proper post
I probably need correcting first. That which is called Brocolli in the supermarket is really called Calabrese by gardeners? Right?
Anyway, Calabrese is what I planted in April. I have some lovely vigorous plants which have been giving me small shoots of calabrese since July, but nothing like the big thick stemmed "brocolli" you get at the supermarket.
So I decided to wait to see if they would get bigger, but all I am eventually getting is flowers.
I am guessing they have bolted - bear in mind I am a newbie so might not be up with the terminology.
I am I still OK to eat the little shoots that come through before they get a chance to flower, or has the plant basically had its day as food as soon as it starts any flowering?
Any knowledge you can pass on would be lovely.
