Hi I wonder if someone can shed some light as to why my Tender Stem mini broccoli would be going to flower so quickly? I havent even had a chance to eat it!! The little yellow flowers are coming out already. Could it be not enough sun?? My neighbours tree now seems to be causing some shade issues - of course I didnt see that in the summer when I planted the garden!
Thanks in advance for any advice you can share.

Hi Heidi.I can commiserate with you mine are doing the same and I wondered what was up too! But thinking about it now and talking about stressed plants I think mine were in their punnet for too long before being planted.Ooops!
Mmm like Hester said I think! The three I have in a semi shady part of the garden have headed but they're only about fist sized and I think will need to be harvested soon as I don't think they're far off bolting. That patch is going to be devoted to lettuce and leafy greens come spring!
Hi Heidi
Plants usually bolt like this if they are stressed in some way.
It is usually due to some deficiency in their needs.
It could be the light problem .
Broccoli needs full sunlight to grow the biggest heads.
