1. I haven't had any luck with broccoli the past two years.

It was attacked by flea beetles, then some other little wormy things. Broccoli also likes cool weather.

If you cut off the flowery parts and wait, you will get sprouts on the sides of the stalks that you can eat. I wait until after the first frost to eat it so all the creepy crawlers are gone.

I didn't even bother planting it this year. Fresh-cut broccoli is sooooo good though... so much better than from the supermarket.
