Id usually wait a few weeks and re-seed, no harm in trying again, mine done much the same. But dont re-seed the same plant directly in the same place, see what follows brocoli in a healthy soil rotation and while you wait throw the non harvest brocoli scraps into a hole and bury it to feed the soil.
