| Move over bulked-out broccoli, I just harvested some sprouting broccoli, a thinner type that's popular in England. Wow -- sooo much better than the regular variety. It will become a staple in my garden and surprisingly so few gardeners know about it. |

| What so many who try it don't realize is that the popular 'Purple Sprouting Broccoli' is summer planted and must overwinter before producing. Spring planted it will just make a big plant that sits there all summer without producing. |

| Does anyone know how cold tolerant purple sprouting broccoli is? My wife planted some by accident and I doubt if it will live through our winters. |
