broccolini is another name for rapini...an Italian green in the cole family.  Tremendous marketing posibilities because rapini is getting a lot of press lately for all those good greens health benefits.  Easier to grow than broccoli because you cut the shoots; rapini doesn't head up.  In Northern Illinois it sells for 1.99 an 8 ounce bunch...crunch your yield numbers on that.  I wouldn't market it as an asparagus wannabe.  Give your customers a recipe for stir-fry and talk up the health aspect.
