I got broccoli rabe and purple sprouting broccoli. Would this work for either of those? First time for either. I have a hard time with brassica pests and am planning on making a few row covers. Will they get more than 3ft ish?
Most things that work well for flowers will work for brassicas like broccoli broccolini broccoli rabe and rapini because the part of the plant we harvest is the flower bud before it opens
I don't know if the garden store mislabeled it but my brocollini is giant in comparison, I keep watching like a hawk for any of the buds opening to harvest it but I swear it swelled in size the last few days so I keep putting it off to get a bigger head. Does it lose flavor letting it get bigger/should I go ahead and not wait much longer if I'm happy with the size now?
