Back in the fall of 2010 I planted broccoli for the first time. I was curious to see how it would grow. One of the first things I noticed was that because the weather was too cool for insects to thrive, I had no problem with cabbage moths or cabbage worms. That was a plus. We began harvesting 7 - 8 inch wide heads through the month of January. I didn't pull my plants up after this initial harvest, as I had read that if left alone broccoli would put out shoots which would grow into additional smaller heads.
