Why did my broccoli head turn to flowers

Question

My broccoli was planted and a small piece of broccoli grew. Then the small piece of broccoli went to flowers and the broccoli was gone. Why did it not get big?

Answer 1

ph should be 6.0-7.0                  did you amend you soil with leaves, mulch, old horsemanure and some lime............if not you can still ring around it with a litttle lime & old horsemanure............cut off the head on a slant right under the floret...........you can still eat it..........you have to check them every day as they will grow & ripen fast.  be sure to soak that in ice cold water with salt to get out any hidden bugs..........more florets will come on your plant.
