| I planted my broccoli a little too late in the spring and I never got much out of it. Now that I'm starting to plan my fall garden, I'm wondering if I should pull up the existing plants, or if they will produce more once the weather cools? I dont want to waste space, so if they will not do anything more then I will pull them up. |

| I pulled out my hybrid broccoli weeks ago, and left four DeCicco sprouting broccoli plants. Those are pretty much done now and are coming out as soon as I get around to it. My month-old fall seedlings are in 4-inch pots, and will go out in a week or so. In my experience, the fall crop does much better than the spring crop. |

| I always leave mine and usually get a good secondary fall harvest. I plant the varieties that produce copious side shoots. |

| In your zone I think you would do better to plant new plants for fall. In the cooler zones they can sometimes get a decent second crop out of it but that never works for me in my zone. Like planatus I ripped all mine out a month oe so back as it was well past done done and will put in new fall plants. Dave |

| I think that new fresh plants will produce better quality broccoli. |
