Purple sprouting broccoli all leaves

Planted 4 last year. One produced broccoli in April/May, the others are massive plants with lots of leaves but no broccoli. Any thoughts?

Same here. But this is my first time planting them so I'm hoping if I wait I'll get some veg!

Lots of leaves here in the north. Expecting broccoli to appear at some point, but not yet.

North west for me. Must be the weather! May have to leave them in till next year! Could always eat the leaves…..

I'm so glad you posted this OP. 1st time broccoli planter here and I thought I'd done something wrong. All leaves and no broccoli yet. I'm in the south east.

Another point which might be of use is that I am on my third year of sowing from the same packet so no need to buy more every year. Some veg seeds seem to remain viable for longer than others. Flowers don’t seem to. Maybe there’s a list somewhere on the internet .

PSB takes ages - generally goes in in late spring/early summer as seedlings and crops in early spring, just after you lose your rag and tell it if it doesn't crop it's coming out tomorrow.
