What makes plants bolt
Bolting is when a plant goes to seed prematurely. There are several possible reasons – water stress, day length, cold are all possible culprits. If we understand what the plant is trying to do we can manage our vegetable succession better. Because once flowering is triggered, it stops root swelling and makes stems woody – reducing the value of crops like radish and beetroot.
