Broccoli Romanesco



Who else planted this? I know BT did - Mom, did you too? Has anyone else's done anything? Ours grew into normal-looking broccoli plants, but never did anything beyond that. I thought maybe they would just need more time, but still nothing. I don't know if they needed some sort of special treatment (fertilizer, pollinating, etc.), but I am pretty disappointed. My regular broccoli last year did fantastically, but this has really been a pooper. No wonder it is a heirloom - it never blooms... ha ha ha - just kidding! (the pic is from a head we got at the FM last year)

Ours sounds the same as yours. I thought maybe we planted it too late. Grewinto a big plant but nothing. The bugs have munched the leaves. Not sure what went wrong.
