How to Harvest broccoli to get more from your plants...
Tips, Tricks
Broccoli would have to be one of my favorite plants to grow.. It starts off with a nice tidy little head of green goodness only to go onto providing you with countless meals of side shoots for months to come.. We were concerned that we didn't plant enough broccoli for the season but we have started to be flooded with side shoots from a few of the plants.. We now have the second crop starting to produce as well so I think we will be sorted for broccoli until the start of Summer now at this rate :) Also posted the recipe for the salad on our blog if you are interested..

I had no idea the rest of the plant could be eaten, nor that they'd produce mini-heads after harvesting the main head. Fantastic info - thanks for that!

Thanks for the info, how long does the plant last? Does it die off in the summer..? Cheers

Excellent vid, very well explained. I'm just off to pick my first broccoli heads now. That's a good tip to leave them growing to obtain the side shoots.

Thanks, I did not know that broccoli gave you side shoots or that the entire plant was edible.,,

I have a plant by my broccoli that has a very thick red/ burgundy base- the leaves look very similar to the rest of my brocolli- do you know what it is?

What a very pleasant little video :) As I was watching I was hoping to see where the tiny broccoli seeds come from.
