I live in mid-Missouri and have 4 Packman Broccoli plants in my garden. I
planted them in early May and they seem to be growing very well.
I've read where most broccoli plants are cool-weather plant. My question is
whether these plants, now coming into the heat of the summer,
will do well and produce broccoli heads? Any suggestions?

Sure enough the I saw three green worms eating away at the leaves of the
broccoli plants. I sprayed them with an insect repellant called
"Garden Safe". I wonder how often I'll have to spray?

They should do alright. Watch for the green worms that like to get into
them. I spray mine with a garden spray from Wal-Mart that is safe to use up
to 24 hours before harvesting to get rid of the worms. When you cut the
heads, soak them in salt water for 15 to 30 minutes and then shake them out.
Go back every few days and keep cutting the smaller heads that they will
keep forming.
They taste so much better when you grow them yourself.
I try to find plants and plant them now through the first of July.
Those will be ready in the fall. I usually have to start the seeds myself
and plant them at the right time. I like to put in about 24 and blanch the
heads after the salt soak, and freeze them. If you don't want to go to that
much trouble, plant them in 2 week intervals and you can harvest until the
first hard freeze.

I live in mid-Missouri and have 4 Packman Broccoli plants in my
garden. I planted them in early May and they seem to be growing very well.
I've read where most broccoli plants are cool-weather plant. My
question is whether these plants, now coming into the heat of the summer,
will do well and produce broccoli heads? Any suggestions?
