broccoli question

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Country Families : One Thread

My broccoli is about a foot high and beautiful, but no broccoli on it. It has been planted about 5 weeks does anyone know how long it should be before I see some broccoli? Thanks

50 to 75 days according to my seed catalogue.

Two months was also seeming about right to me, but I've never timed it;) Watch for the first broccoli to begin in the center of the plant, and wait for it to get nice and big(but not flowering)before you cut it off. We have broccoli planted the end of May that is still producing the smaller "heads" for us.
