ARGH! Broccoli Raab flowering and spinach bolting way too soon.
I go away for one week and come back to yellow flowers on my young broccoli plants and bolting spinach (young plants too)! What's the dealio? I cut the broccoli heads and I'm hoping for some side heads. I pulled up the bolting spinach, I think I'm going to plant beans there now.
Anybody else dealt with this? Why did this happen?

Re: ARGH! Broccoli Raab flowering and spinach bolting way too soon.
I know if it gets too dry or too hot broccoli will bolt. It really likes cooler weather best. The good news the flowers are edible too.
I found with raab that if I cut it down to just a few inches of stalk it would send up new growth.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
