You not only get the head of broccoli but also little off shoots that are great for stir fry. I would grow them again but I would stagger the plantings by a week or so. I had to harvest about 6 heads at one time and ended up freezing some of it. Like H2, I also reused the box later in the season.Russ Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384846093877363348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-76947580639818915712012-02-08T07:08:02.377-06:002012-02-08T07:08:02.377-06:00Hi Ben: I think that's right--broccoli doesn&#...Hi Ben: I think that's right--broccoli doesn't return much for the time it takes. I'd vastly prefer to grow/eat kale or another of the brassicas that produce steadily. But broccoli has a fun growing form.<br /><br />Debbie, somehow we got lucky that year (2009) with the weather and had that tidy harvest.H2https://www.blogger.com/profile/05697081429612903875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-32098694797641320422012-02-07T22:57:05.262-06:002012-02-07T22:57:05.262-06:00So it looks like you got 3 decent heads of broccol...So it looks like you got 3 decent heads of broccoli in one SIP and that was early in the season.

That it was cheaper to get it from the store.<br /><br />FWIWBen Czajkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09939453554250040084noreply@blogger.com
