Suggestions: Before planting, enrich the soil with compost. To avoid disease problems, don't plant where broccoli or related plants grew within the last 2 years. Water regularly and fertilize monthly. To harvest, cut the stem 4 to 6 inches below the central head while the buds are small and tight. No yellow flowers should be visible in the head.
