Just wanted to confirm that the reason your broccoli probably prematurely bolted was indeed due to the quick spike in temperatures that we got last summer. It can also be a result of environmental conditions such as erratic watering or extreme changes in temperature. At our trial grounds in Cottage Grove, OR, I have had MUCH better results growing broccoli as a fall crop-planting in the summer and harvesting in the fall/early winter when temps are cooler. We have a winter catalog that comes out in the beginning of June with varieties that have proven to grow well for fall harvests.<br /><br />Hope that this helps and happy gardening!Josh at Territorial Seed Companyhttp://www.territorialseed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554242546577464150.post-14550895836770090412010-05-09T22:26:12.614-07:002010-05-09T22:26:12.614-07:00I had a similar experience with broccoli last year...I had a similar experience with broccoli last year. Your comment reminded me to look that up, and broccoli is a cool season plant that will go to flower if the weather is too warm, according to my Western Garden book. We had such a hot summer last year! I only bought two plants of broccoli the other day, and I am now thinking I might wait until fall to plant the broccoli seeds I'm getting. Thanks for the well wishes!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09198461229351090208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554242546577464150.post-3678543536542815182010-05-09T13:51:24.713-07:002010-05-09T13:51:24.713-07:00I wish I had tips.

But I am curious to hear how your broccoli grows - I planted 4 hills of broccoli last year and they each only had heads the size of a silver dollar before they bolted. Not sure if it's something I did or just the growing season here. Good luck and have fun!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02677526027579575826noreply@blogger.com
