atlantic broccoli

[tjg911]

anyone ever grow this variety? sand hill has it so i'm going to try it vs de cicco and see how it does. i put out plants in mid may and grow them all summer into mid october. broccoli does well even into the upper 90's if you water it. i was surprised by this since we typically think of it as a cool weather crop. one year it was in the 90's a lot even upper 90's it was brutal heat and i had the best side shoots from calabrese green sprouting ever, some were 2.5" to 3" across! hoping atlantic will be good enough to replace de cicco.
