Thank you PeterM. I remembered your original post when i too was despairing about lack of spears on my PSB. Planted 5 last April (not a vegaetable i’d seen in Australia!) so i was uncertain about it’s growing pattern or even if we would enjoy eating it!
Watched it grow to 5-6ft, height was a bit unexpected i must say, but i put that down to good soil preparation last year (initial year). It looked good all the way through winter with the plants looking strong and healthy. Mid February and still nothing showed. Well, imagine my delight this morning when i discovered the beginning of heads in each of them. I was close to pulling them out as i needed the space. Just go to show me that the magic ingredient in gardening is patience.
I’m assuming the spear will appear down the stalks as well at the leaf axils? Is that correct?
