Water thoroughly during dry periods to prevent bolting. Pick regularly when the spears are well formed but before they open. Take the central spear first to encourage a lot of side shoots. Although the heads of broccoli is typically the only thing utilized, the stalks, buds and leaves are also edible.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGO BACK TO YOUR ROOTS\u003c\/strong\u003e: Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli is a great starter vegetable to grow.
