broccoli can still fall over, all you need is strong winds and they can lay over. they take a 90 degree turn and grow up but then they are closer to the others causing trouble picking and with air circulation. i plant 4 plants in a 10' X 10' square inside a pvc pipe cage covered with bird netting so when this happens, and it ALWAYS does, it is a major pita.
