Growing trouble

BoltingPlants flowering too early

Bolting: plants flowering too early

The plant sends up a flower stalk early. Leafy crops turn bitter, and onions and beetroot stop swelling. Heat and drought usually set it off.

When it shows up: Summer, in heat and drought

Does it match?Yes, what do I do?

What to do

  1. Harvest what you can now. A bolted plant won’t recover.

  2. On onions, snap off the stalk and use those onions first: they won’t store.

  3. Water in dry spells, and sow at the times Bia gives.
