| Hi, I'm new on here. Me and my husband recently started our first vegetable garden, and we forgot to label what we planted. I figured out what most of them are, except for one, and I can't seem to identify it through google or anything. Please help! |

| Maybe cabbage or broccoli? |

| I was thinking broccoli too, but shouldn't the broccoli heads be appearing by now? I don't know, don't know much about gardening yet :-) |

| I second either broccoli or brussel sprouts. And no, at the stage in the photograph, they may not be producing heads yet. They do that right about the time you're convinced you aren't going to get any. |

| Thank you! I think it is broccoli too. That plant was the only one that didn't give any clues as to what it was ... |

| I'm almost 100 percent sure it is broccoli, As for heads forming it will depend on what zone your in and of course the weather, I'm in zone 6 PA, I just cut my heads off yesterday. |

| I think it's zone 7 A or something, I'm still new to gardening, I live in Tennessee near Jackson, it's pretty humid out here right now... |

| Thanks everybody! I'm 99% sure it IS broccoli, I know that was one of the vegetables that was planted :-) Now I can't wait to harvest it |

| You will need to thin the plants to more than a foot apart if you want to get big heads. If you keep soil packed around their roots, you may be able to transplant some of the smaller ones to another part of your garden. |

| Thanks for the advice :-) I'm actually about to go work on my garden in a few, and will definitely do that. |

| I started mine in April so I guess mine has a while still to grow :-) |

| I checked mine a little bit ago and the largest one is just starting to form a head, it's about 14 inches tall. |

| May be getting a little warm for them in TN, Broccoli, Cabbage and cauliflower like cooler weather. |
