BROCCOLIThere's a first for everything, right?! Well, here's the first harvest of the first planting of broccoli for us. (Never tried growing it before.)
We transplanted four plants from a nursery on April 24th and now two months later we're enjoying the fruits of our labors. The other two plants are a little further behind these two. That will be nice because a person can only eat so much broccoli at a time.
I wasn't sure how to grow broccoli so I checked out usagardener.com. Under their "How to Grow Broccoli" section I found everything I needed to know from planting to harvesting. I've enjoyed having this resource for growing other fruits and vegetables as well.
I love this time of year!
Altho it's getting too hot for good broccoli production, you should still be able to get small side shoot heads. Don't forget to use the stems - peeled and shredded they make a great addition to coleslaw. Bellen
