what variety of broccoli? i've grown 4 or 5 varieties and only packman was a problem and i'll never ever grow it ever never again but that's me.

a cold snap can induce premature heading. i put my broccoli out 15 days before the last frost date. in your area i wouldn't try to guess but you do the math. for me i start broccoli tomorrow and put them out on 5/15, last frost date for me is memorial day weekend.
