So we got tired of eating broccoli and stopped picking it after a while.  The result was a blessing.  All through the month of February and part of March, our broccoli bloomed and was covered in bees and butterflies.  I wish I could post a video so you could see all of the bees and butterflies, but here is a picture.

The sad part was having to pull it out in order to prepare for our spring garden.  It was still covered in blooms when we pulled it. Next year, we will plant some where we can leave it in longer.
