A tell-tale sign that a vegetable has bolted is the elongation of the stem, or the formation of a central flower stalk in a very short period of time. Once you see this you know that the vegetative growth stage is over and that flowering, or reproductive growth stage, has begun. Many of the plants that we find bolting here in Eagle County are plants that we are trying to grow out of their preferred growing conditions, think of trying to grow lettuce in the heat of the summer.
