Luckily for them, I took the bullet. In fact, you'll notice that I was trying to spare them even the aesthetic unpleasantness of scabby spuds. Hi Bryan, well, that's a bit of a non sequitur, but I've never grown actual broccolini (which isn't really broccoli, as such, so it never gets the big head on it). It's sort of notorious for being trademarked and difficult to obtain. Where'd you get your seeds? Anyway, you can eat it whenever. You can eat the flowers, too. Whenever I've grown similar things (rapini, raab, etc.) I usually lose interest in them when they start to get all leggy and stupid looking. Makes me think I should try again. Yes, blech.

I've never had this experience, never want to have this experience, and hope with all my might that your family never has to have this experience again. I hope you didn't make that cute little sad boy eat them. Or the one that tested the apple still on the tree. Or the wife that eats the first ripe raspberry. :-) Blech!

It's flowering but it doesn't look ready to eat. When can I expect to be able to eat the stuff? I have some tall broccolini. It’s flowering but it doesn’t look ready to eat.
