Bolting Broccoli

Are your vegetables “bolting”? Bolting is another way to say that a vegetable plant has started to flower. It can happen in spring when cool-season crops respond to the warmer temperatures and longer days. Crops that often bolt include Brussels sprouts, broccoli, lettuce, collards, and other greens — and in our case it was mustard greens. Bolting affects the quality of your vegetables and cause the vegetable to taste bitter.
