| Started these from seed, in flats very early. Transplanted out early. Grew great, huge plants, but no central head, minimal side shoots. Production was poor. It did get hot here in late June, but Packman did just fine. So that is no excuse. Do yourself a favor and grow a different variety. |

| 2010 Calabrese broccoli did not provide any heads on the for upstate NY, and I have no idea why. Great normal plant growth and size, just no heads developed. |
