Broccoli


Each day I am amazed by the growth of these plants. They are huge. The cool rainy weather is helping them too by buying more time for them to develop. Now I know why people were at the nursery so early when the weather was only 45F or so. Next year, I'll start these even earlier. Fortunately, my tomatoes aren't complaining in their pots.

Broccoli head from below. Side shoots with smaller heads of broccoli are beginning to develop too. After I harvest the main head, the smaller heads will develop further for more broccoli goodness.

The heads are measuring 3-4" in diameter now. Some are bigger than others.

I hope we can harvest them soon.
