I think I am going to plant some in my mothers garden for her. She is always saying that it is hard to get really fresh broccoli.

Great and home grown just taste better. Do try and get a one that gives side shoots once the main head is harvested. Those are yummy. I actually prefer the Di Cicco variety for those. That one starts bloom at about 48 days, so it's a quick one.

Well, victor what are you gonna do with those younguns? Mine like the stuff, so does the grandbaby and she's only 4. Of course, she does like to "pet" my plants before we harvest...what a hoot! And thank you for the kind encouragement! :)

Really enjoyed the article! I'm going to get my garden cleaned up and ready to plant some in fall of 08. Never thought to underplant with lettuce, spinach, radish, etc. Great idea. I will try that.
