| I have broccoli plants in a stock tank this year. Their heads aren't that big, but the individual stalks are starting to separate. Does that mean it's time to eat them? Thanks. |

| Yep. A little past it's prime but still good.. Harvest that main head so side shoots develop. The more separation, the woodier the stalk will be. I let my knife in the kitchen tell me --- if gravity from a simple chop drop of the knife doesn't go easily through the stalk, I inch my way up the stalk until it does. Kevin |

| Agree. Usually it begins to get a slight yellow cast before the stalks begin to separate and that is when to harvest. So get it now. Dave |
