Hi

[Patty]

Just join and not quite sure what I am doing, but would like some advice on purple sprouting brocollie. I have plant some and they are not very tall yet but have started to spourt flowers. What should I do.

Hi Patty,
"Welcome" To the "Carlsberg Veg Forum"

Hi again Patty,
Your not alone, I am still learning but you must agree
"We" must be at the best place on the net for the info we require

I am commonly known as promoting "OUR" forum as the "Carlsberg Veg Forum" but you will need to evaluate the "Site" for youself, but i can't think of any reason you would be disapointed with what is on offer here.
Good luck with your "Seasons Growings" cheers stupo

Hi Patty, welcome to our forum!!

Cut the flowering stems off the plants and hopefully the plant will grow some more heads. Broccoli heads are made up of lots of tiny closed flowers so it's important to harvest while the heads are still nice and compact.
