I had the same problem with the winter broccoli this year and I was giving it to the chooks - only to discover when I read on the seed packet that with this type of broccoli you eat the head complete with flowers, and the stem. Sorry I can't remember which broccoli it was

it will go to seed if it isn't getting enough water, food, and if it is to hot.. i grew 6 good size healthy plants in garden boxes in the middle of winter and they finished a week ago i got a huge crop of broccoli of them through out the prio months..in autumn im growing broccolini again i like to change every year..
