When to harvest brocoli?

Hello Team,

I have a baby broccoli plant and would like to know when to harvest the broccoli head. Also if I cut it, will the plant be removed like the bigger plant, how further heads will be produced? This is my first plant, so don't know. Please advise.

Thanks

Balaji.

Hi @balaji27,

 

Good work, your plant looks very healthy. 

 

The Bunnings team has produced a comprehensive guide on growing broccoli that you should find helpful. 

 

It advises to harvest when the heads are still green and compact, before they turn yellow or start flowering.

 

Let me tag @mich1972 to see if she has any further tips.

@balaji27  Definitely cut it now before it starts to flower 🙂
