Description
This stout, flowering, thick-stemmed vegetable is related to cabbage, kale, bok choy and kale. A broccoli head is eaten before it flowers, when it resembles a small tree, but the rest of the vegetable is entirely edible too, you just need to get creative. Broccoli is a moderately long-growing vegetable, but don’t let that deter you! If you give this vegetable the right conditions and time your planting correctly, you can get this plant to produce shoots for weeks even after you’ve harvested the main flowering head.
