*Broccoli is a biennial crop, but short season varieties act as annuals when planted early in the spring.

Will broccoli come back every year?

It doesn’t continually produce new fruit like many garden vegetables. However, broccoli does have some redeeming qualities. Although you can’t harvest broccoli for months on end, you can harvest it several times during the growing season. Don’t wait until the broccoli heads become large, though.

Is broccoli grown year round?

Broccoli is grown year-round in the coastal valleys, with a slight dip in December in both planting and harvest. In the San Joaquin Valley broccoli planting begins in mid- July and continues through December; however, most planting ends in October.
