This variety is Green Comet purchased from Bi-mart in a pony pak for 99cents in April. I keep it picked before any flowering - and laterals keep coming. The heads are not as wide as commercial crop but I cut them up anyway for stir fry. Along with Oregon Sugar Snap Peas and Joi Choy (all planted from pony paks in April) - it makes a good stir fry. Next time I will allow more space for the brocolli - as you can see it is a little crowded! Staying ahead of the harvest is tricky because it is tied to the weather - and the weather here changes back and forth from warm to cool all the time.
