I look forward to them every year. I always enjoy many side shoots after the main head is harvested. I live in south Texas so perhaps the warmer temps have something to do with it.

I learned MANY years ago the organic way to deter the cabbage looper moth is by planting tall Marigolds amongst them. By tall I mean the 2-3 foot varieties. "Crackerjack" is a good one. So I LITERALLY plant 1-2 plants right up against the young broccoli transplant so they grow up together. This really works. For aphid control, I do the soap and water spray when it becomes necessary.

Sometimes when I buy organic broccoli it has aphids and other little bugs. Are these only a warm weather problem? Do you spray at all? I'm working on expanding my cold weather crops so thanks for writing about these. I am hesitant to grow broccoli because I’m afraid it will end up full of aphids.
