Can you add fertiliser as additional nutrition to manure? If so which is best?

I am now 65 years old and don't remember broccoli being avaible when I was a chlid. In fact i'm thinking that i only became aware of it in the last 20 years or so. Can anyone answer my query please.

My broccoli have many , but many little leafs but not any head, it is like bush and don't produce nothing, or some of them have already little flowers, but still not head. If someone can help me with an explanation Thank you Maria

Maria I think Dec is a little too early for the cooler temp leaf veg. I'd sow seed now,still warm enough to germinate or buy a punnet of seedlings which are more advanced. Plant them out keep the water up to them while young and they will go.Good luck Kev

"If left without water they will bolt to seed and be inedible" - I refer your comment above - I think this is what happened to my broccoli - no heads but long sprouts - I presume that is what you refer to as "bolt to seed". I water my veggies every morning, are there any other factors that may cause this ? I presume I can't eat the long sprouts - do I cut it out and wait for the additional crops ?
