I’ve got the same ones! Mine started to develop broccoli heads a few weeks ago. They’re still a bit too small to pick, but they’re slowly getting there. I’m thinking of picking some of the centre heads, to allow the side shoots to develop. How are yours doing?

Not nearly as well as yours! I just checked your page and yours are nearly double the size of mine.

I gave a few away to a friend, so I need to see how hers are doing. No sign of brocolli on mine yet, perhaps because they have outgrown their containers yet again!

It does look like broccoli really benefits from having plenty of space – and sun.
I’ll try and keep track of my romanesco progress!
