    These were pretty plants. I wasn't impressed much, though, as they never really formed a head for me. The description claimed they would form a main head, followed by side shoots. All I got was a loose cluster of shoots, followed by the occasional side shoot. There was never really anything to harvest; it was a 'snack on in the garden' thing. I don't usually do that well with broccoli in general though - our spring comes late and our summer is hot.
