Harvesting Broccoli

I have started harvesting my broccoli for the season. For those of you newcomers to broccoli growing, it is ready when the heads are well formed and the little individual buds are tight. To harvest broccoli, simplly take a sharp knife, cut it at base of head leaving the broccoli plant leaves. Your broccoli plant will then send out smaller shoots of broccoli in the next little bit which also can be harvested. The head while it is still on the plant needs to be watched closely for signs of yellowing or beginning to flower. (This means that you have waited to long to harvest.) Harvest immediately, cut out yellow and flowering part and process like you would normally do. Will post how i freeze broccoli in a later post.
