Growing Broccoli

"If left without water they will bolt to seed and be inedible" - I refer your comment above - I think this is what happened to my broccoli - no heads but long sprouts - I presume that is what you refer to as "bolt to seed". I water my veggies every morning, are there any other factors that may cause this ? I presume I can't eat the long sprouts - do I cut it out and wait for the additional crops ?
