Growing Broccoli

View the Broccoli page

31 Dec 16 Patrick Hanratty (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I bought seedlings that said they were Kale from Spar here in Centurion. So now its 31st Jan and they are as big as small bushes about 1.5 metres and certainly not Kale but obviously Broccoli. No heads yet although 5 months growing. Should i wait for cooler weather for them to head or is it better to pull em out because there will be no cool nights until end Feb.
