Plant: Broccoli (Brassica oleracea (Italica Group)) | Variety: Green sprouting calabrese

This variety grew very tall and large in the Earthbox. After the first head was cut, side shoots did not develop. Instead, the stump enlarged and many small shoots appeared to emerge, but never developed into heads. Perhaps the high N concentrations in the Earthbox fertilizer mix encouraged too much vegetative growth and not enough flowering.
