Before you know it, you've harvested up to 20 gourmet \"sweet stem\" broccoli shoots, and Artwork is the last broccoli in the garden still producing.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe secret to getting the most out of Artwork is to get rid of that central crown quickly. Cut it for eating when it's just an inch or so in diameter, or pinch it away even sooner if you don't need to harvest it. As soon as you do, the side-shoots begin to take off. Expect the first ones to be ready for harvest about 10 days after you've removed the central crown. Cut them promptly, and get ready to watch their replacements appear.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMany broccoli are better suited to crowning than to side shoot production because they tend to bolt (begin flowering) in hot weather—and hot weather is exactly what most of us have all summer long in the garden. Artwork, on the other hand, is very bolt-resistant, keeping its tight beads even when the temperature climbs. This gives you many more weeks of production . . . and means that new side-shoots can arise even in late summer, when other sweet stem broccoli varieties are done.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eArtwork reaches about 8 inches wide and can top out at close to 2 feet, depending on how tall you let it grow.
