> If you pinchout the centers and feed them a good amount of nitrogen you
will be able to get good side shoots during the summer if its not too hot,
they probably were over hardened when you planted them, broccoli is a very
fast growing plant, the addition of nitrogen and relieving the stress of the
center growing point will give the plant a second chance.

Shade cloth helps when you're trying for side shoots later in the
season--but that may only be regional. You're so far north, you may not
need it.
