Broccoli Emergency

Post by Betsy Voinovich »

And now for something completely different...

Does anybody know whether anything can be done about broccoli gone wild?

These are my lovely plants from Lakewood Garden Center that I bought LAST Spring, which maintained growth throughout the winter, we ate broccoli through all of that time, but I got too busy, stopped harvesting it. And this happened!

I think those are seedpods. I guess I could plant them?

I don't know, I'm hoping one of you guys does. I hope that I'm not out of luck for any more broccoli florets from these plants. They were so tasty, and as you can see, the plants are thriving.

Can I cut them back?

I would greatly appreciate some advice.

Thanks.
