Hi, Larry. Are these new plants? If yes, it sounds like your plants are beginning to bolt (flower), which occurs in warmer weather. The top of the plant will elongate and form flowers. This can affect the quality of your sprouts. You can try to delay this a little by removing the top part of the plant where the flowers are forming, to encourage the lower sprouts to mature. Some say that applying a little nitrogen might also help to delay bolting. However, if the sprouts have formed flowers in their second year, they will become unpalatable.
