Growing Broccoli

View the Broccoli page

16 Aug 13 Adri (South Africa - Humid sub-tropical climate)
I have a problem after harvesting, sometimes everything is fine, broccoli lasts in the fridge for a week or two. Other times they turn yellow overnight, and also there is a problem with smell. When they smell it is so bad you cant have it in the house you have to bury perfectly fresh green broccoli heads... there doesn't seem to be a pattern, how do I harvest my beautiful broccoli to always have a good result?
