Broccoli, planted way too early in the hot hot summer, finally started growing a head!
When do I harvest each??

    Ideally days ago. Harvest now as it isn’t completely bolted yet, but if you wait it will be.

    Last week ideally, but immediately otherwise.

    As many have said, a week ago. But right now

    Before it turns that color, when heads are about 6”. Then you’ll get shoots from between the branches and the stems. I’m still getting those.

    I am in NC and I have started planting all my brassicas in fall. I have them grow all winter and they do fine. I picked my broccoli at this stage this year and it was still tasty

    To echo everyone here, now. Broccoli is really tough this time of year. It doesn’t like heat. I’ve never had luck getting big heads like the ones at the grocery store. These will still taste good.
