Victor - broccoli likes to be planted very early in the spring. I plant it just as soon as we get back in May in NH. Down here I've planted it several times in large pots on our patio. I've had huge, delicious heads that have continued to give nice side shoots after I harvested the largest heads - one of which we are having for supper shortly. It cooks up so nice and dark green when it is fresh. I think it is almost as easy as green beans to grow. Just stick the little plants in good soil with lots of organic matter and let it grow. Water it a good bit early on. Here I put in one plant to a pot and it gets very large. I water it almost daily in the pots on the patio. I think it is foolproof!!

Sherrie - those royal burgundy beans are very cool! Here are my pole beans that are beginning to flower.....
