Hello again, I am growing some purple sprouting broccoli for the first time and 2 of the plants are producing flowers and purple seed heads. Is this ok or should I remove them. Thanks Cecelia

that sounds like the part you are meant to eat. the flower heads are purple and will open out yellow. pick and eat them now. enjoy.

Agree, the flowers are what we're suppose to eat, actually the buds just before they open. Blanche them in boiling water and some melted butter, garlic/butter. yum!
