I think it has to be a winter crop. I planted mine, Pacman, in Oct, and had a great batch around Super Bowl time.
Just one of those nature deals I think. |

I usually have a great early spring crop with pacman. This is the first failure. I stopped back by Lowes today. They still had some pacman... heading in the cell packs Obviously a supply problem. I suggested to the attendant that it was time they three the brocolli plants out. She didn't seem to understand but said she would relay the message to a manager.
Fortunately I only had ten of these. I have forty more of my own and they look fine for now. If the weather will hold seasonable in May I shoud do finewith them. Always an adventure

I have had more problems with heat growing brocolli or cauliflower and always do better growing it here for a fall crop. I have had some good results with a brocolli seed called "Green Magic" which is very heat tolerant and heads form well right into mid summer.

if you have just a few plants then this is easy to do. i highly recommend calabrese green sprouting. it's easy to find and op. it is noted for large side shoots often 2" even 3" in diameter. tom
