Wow! My first year trying Belstar broccoli and so far I sure do love it! Several plants have given their first head and are now into side shoots. The flavour is spectacular -- it's delicious raw and is actually so sweet when eaten raw! Some of the heads have had "brown bead" (per google) -- where some of the little unopened florets are dried out / brown and tend to fall off -- but I just throw it all into the recipes and it's great, no issues.
The piracicabas on the other hand haven't been doing great. Their flowers are long and spindly/measly. Thank goodness for Belstar to the rescue!
Next year I'll definitely grow more Belstar and fewer piracicaba.
