    Default seed from broccoli

    I have harvested all of my broccoli. Seems like now, the stalks are prettier than ever. Leaves are perfect. Ugh!! Anyway, do I leave the plant there or take it out to put in the compost. OR.....will it go to seed somehow?
    Help.....please....my FV family.
    Thank you in advance!

    If you want seed you have to leave some of the heads on and not harvest them. They will turn into yellow flowers.
    Use it up, Wear it out,
    Make it do, Or do without. ~unknown

    I left mine in last year, they bloomed and the bees just loved them. We are doing then same this year, we pulled them out when it froze.

    oh....well.....we ate all the broccoli. So....I guess I won't get any seed. I know better next time. I will pull these up and throw them in my compost.
    Thanks!
