This is the second head, the first one was a couple days ago and was huge, but not as big as this one. Variety is Castle Dome, and I will be planting more of this in the fall. I am very impressed. Compared to the Sun King, this is gargantuan, a veritable Tyrannosaurus of brocs.

I’ve never had any luck with broccoli. They grow and then go right to seed. Must be something in the soil chemistry.

Planting date in Ontario is May 24 to avoid a late frost.
