If you grow green beans, try haricots vert. Easy to grow, prolific and quick.

So far we have been harvesting the lettuces, chard, kale, herbs... The broccoli crowns are between 1-2 1/2 inches. Dave, when should we harvest these? We are worried they are going to flower.

You have to watch broccoli closely. It can flower when quite small, unless it is really being "forced", which I rarely do. One good thing you can do is to cut the crowns off, then it will grow back more, though smaller, crowns.
