Hi Bella Sounds like they bolted due to not enough water :( They do like consistent water, without it, they bolt to flower as you've experienced. I realise your question is a few months old now but hope it helps next time you grow them :)

I planted Broccoli in late February this year and my calendar is telling me I should have harvested several times now but all I have is a tall strong green plant with nothing on them. I have plenty of new growth leaves coming on in the middle of the plant tho. So far we had a couple of frosts last week just gone but has been relatively general warm autum days of about 20 deg with minimums of about 5 deg at night bar the couple of days when it frosted. I am in Tamworth NSW. Is this normal? And the same with my brussel sprouts?

I think I read that too much nitrogen in the soil can cause this. Sorry. I don't know how to fix it.

Hi. I have had a lot of issues with cabbage moth and caterpillars in the past. I'm a lazy gardener, and would also like to use as few chemicals as possible. I have found dead bees in my garden before. Last year I bought a fine net to cover my crop, and it worked beautifully! The sun still gets through, but no bugs can get in. Well worth the investment, as it will last me several years. Bunnings sells a version, or you can get them online from Diggers. Look for the fine mesh netting, not the bird netting.

Tip is that you need 70 millimeters of water for Broccoli!
