They look good, especially for this time of year in the south. I'm assuming your nights are still fairly cool and your daytime temps are not as hot as I am now getting. My broccoli plants are now long gone and after harvesting the main head, I got a ton of side shoots off them for several weeks afterwards. Not sure if that will happen for you with summer approaching. I find broccoli and other what I consider cool/cold weather plants do tend to taste better after some cold nights. I hope they stick around long enough for you to harvest some side shoots after you pick the main heads.
They do look good.

Agree! You did good, Susan .
My broccoli must be a magnet for Benjamin Bunny. Usually, it is about half of each leaf that is eaten and I can get the plants to come back with a little fertilizer, hilling and water.
It sets the little plants back and then there is the problem of the sudden onset of hot weather ... <sigh> ... My broccoli usually has a tough time of it in the garden ...
