how do you pick your broccoli
Check to ensure the broccoli is ready for harvesting. For an idea of when to pick broccoli, mark down on the calendar the day you started your seeds. At the 55-day mark, start closely watching your plants. Look for the broccoli's head to be anywhere from 4 to 7 inches (10.16 to 17.78 cm} wide. Size is not the only indication that it is time to start harvesting broccoli.
