Broccoli Heads/Questions!

Hi I am fairly new to gardening and am trying broccoli for the first time this year. I have premium crop broccoli in raised beds and I am in zone 7. The broccoli is already producing heads some of which are 3 inches in diameter. How long will it take from this point to get to the 8-9inches it needs to be for harvesting? Also I know broccoli can bolt pretty quickly anything specific I should look for to know it's going to bolt? And even if the broccoli had bolted does this significantly alter the taste like it does when lettuce bolts? And after it had bolted are the smaller shoots still edible? And last question how long will it continue to produce smaller shoots? Thanks for the help!
