I have a feeling that broccoli and cauliflower bolt much quicker in rich ground. If you have a less fertile area, try this space for these veggies. Leeks and Kohl rabi are dead easy to grow (especially the leeks - we're still pulling ours from last year and no predators). Be warned, though, the caterpillars will devour the kohl rabi leaves and stunt the bulb.
