What I want to know is how it differes from broccoli in growth and how far apart to plant them. I understand commercialy they cut out the main stem and get several harvests. How many nodes are left on a harvested stem? In short this video tells me nothing I didn't already know about broccoli.
I'm disappointed in this video as well. My plants are now about 10" high, and each has ONE little broccolini floret in them. I want to know how long it will take from this little floret to a bunch such as she showed at the beginning of the video.
Where do you get the seeds?
Can you grow it from scraps (what you bought at the grocery store) and if so, how?
Can’t figure out why so many people are throwing away the leaves! The greens are so delicious
