Variety:   "Express" Hybrid

 

Where are your growing?   Corvallis, Oregon

 

Details:  

Outstanding! I've been continuously harvesting LARGE heads of broccoli for several months now. The second and third harvests from these plants produced heads at least as large as the first harvest (it was like whole broccoli plants grew from the axillary buds after I harvested the terminal bud!). I fertilized twice, 2 weeks apart with organic fish emulsion early in the growth of these plants.
