HEELING BROCCOLI

The unsightliness of run-to-seed broccoli doesn't apparently bother some gardeners, but it is wasteful

and may be avoided to an extent by heeling' plants to the north and thus discouraging 'bolting.' This month is a good time to take such a precaution and ensure that the kitchen and not the compost heap. gets the greens.
