Superb broccoli

I grow Calabrese and De Ciccio broccoli every year and while both perform admirably here in bone dry NW AZ, I like the flavor of Calabrese slightly better than De Ciccio. Don't get me wrong. Both are very good and De Ciccio typically out-produces Calabrese but taste is a highly personal thing and for me Calabrese is best. Both are equally easy to grow and even a single plant, if left to bolt, will overwhelm you with seeds. I usually plant garlic and onions in among my broccoli as they repell aphids and other pests and enhance the flavor of my broccoli.
