I did my first garden last year, and the broccoli... bolted, I guess it is called. It turned yellow and had itty bitty flowers. I am going to try again this year. On the planting chart on this site, it says in my area, it is best to sow indoors in mid March, and sow outdoors in mid April and harvest in mid June. I feel like that has to be wrong... I live in South western Ontario. No one even starts their gardens here until the first week of June, because we risk frost before that. If I planted broccoli outside in mid April I would be risking 6 weeks of frost! And then June 1st-mid June is only 2 weeks. Does it grow that fast?
