bill i know ct is like another world compared to where you are re weather but i have huge healthy broccoli plants in mid july to mid aug when the temps often are in the low 90's and even upper 90's for some days. water. that's the trick. i wouldn't think broccoli would grow in such heat but watering them keeps them producing lots of side shoots and some are quite large. now the main head is cut before mid july and it's warm but not wicked hot. try calabrese green sprouting, this variety is op and performs every year and is my mainstay. i have tried 1 or 2 others but i always go back to cgs.
