Hmmmm. There's nothing like eating fresh vegetables that you have grown yourself.
The broccoli we planted here at Rothe Farms is ready to harvest. We got a good crop and the florets are huge! Did you know that broccoli is actually a whole bunch of potential little flowers? So if you don't pick your broccoli you will end up with tall stalks of yellow flowers. Broccolli is best before this process begins. But no worries if you are late, the broccoli still tastes great!
We now have to decide what to put in where the broccoli is now. Beans maybe? I would like to plant more broccoli. Broccoli can be grown early in the growing season and mid to late season here in WNC. So, hopefully come july we will be planting more for a late summer harvest.
Everyone should grow something. Gardening is life affirming. Gardening nurtures our relationship with earth. It is also better for the environment to grow and share your food.
Satisfaction.
Guaranteed.
Gardening may not be for everyone. But it is for me.
