I'm trying Bay Meadows (F?) Hybrid this year. I am late, and my seeds are just sprouting in the garage. We're already hitting 100+ temps regularly here, so I expect this will be an experience with futility, but I thought I'd give it a try. I'll try and mulch well and give the broccoli some shad cloth. They probably will not be ready to transplant for another 3 weeks. I've never attempted broccoli in the dead of summer. Seems like a long shot, but my family eats a good $3 of organic broccoli a day, so it would be a huge saving for me if they can grow successfully in our heat.

Good luck.
