I really like this Broccoli because it keeps producing after you cut the center growth it still produces many more.  
SweetDomesticity replied 3 months ago
It's definitely a favorite of our as well! I planted it last year and it kept producing right up until I pulled it in November.

I would love to try the newspaper pots. Ooooo thanks for posting the instructions. I also decided to try a few cherry tomato varieties for the farmer's market this year. I'm trying some roma and a few others like the Ferris wheel.
