Growing Broccoli

View the Broccoli page

07 Oct 14 Michael (Australia - temperate climate)
I have Baby Broccoli and B Cauli, and Broccoli in situ presently, all doing well. I planted them about 8 - 10 weeks ago. There is no sign of them "heading up" yet, but they have become very leafy, depriving other veges of light/heat. Is one able to prune this leafy foliage without it affecting their progress, or should they simply be left alone?
