Growing Broccoli

View the Broccoli page

17 May 09 Trish (Australia - tropical climate)
started 2 metre square gardens about 6 weeks ago. I have marigolds next to the broccoli and the broccoli is growing GREAT but is growing so fast it is putting my bush peas in shadow. is it ok to cut off a few of the broccoli leaves and if so can you use them in stir fry, or is it straight to the compost? thanks
