I grew a couple of nice broccoli plants from seedlings but two problems: 1) the head was rather 'soft' whilst on the plant - not crisp at all 2) it went to flower very quickly what do I do - Is there any use leaving the remaining stalk inthe ground (i pruned it all back) or should I give up and plant some more?
