Growing Broccoli

I planted Broccoli in late February this year and my calendar is telling me I should have harvested several times now but all I have is a tall strong green plant with nothing on them. I have plenty of new growth leaves coming on in the middle of the plant tho. So far we had a couple of frosts last week just gone but has been relatively general warm autum days of about 20 deg with minimums of about 5 deg at night bar the couple of days when it frosted. I am in Tamworth NSW. Is this normal? And the same with my brussel sprouts?

I think I read that too much nitrogen in the soil can cause this. Sorry. I don't know how to fix it.
