tips for purple sprouting broccoli

I realise we are nearing the end of the season, but my plants are still going strong. Maybe it was the delayed spring? Anyway, they are producing lovely delicious shoots, but they are very thing stocks with very small (though sweet and tasty) heads. The plants themselves are bushy and strong with big healthy looking leaves - its just the sprouts themselves which are a bit wimpy.
Does anyone have any tips? I never know with veg if plant food is the answer bc I worry it will encourage leaf growth rather than the sprouting bits so hoping for a bit of advise from people who actually know about this stuff :)
thanks!
