I am so tickled at the whole garden this year . Everything looks great and growing like weeds. I think Mike using chicken manure this year is really helping. We've already picked chard twice and broccoli once. The first broccoli heads are huge! The shiny spots are water drops.
I had a couple of nice broccoli heads, but most of them were uneven. No matter, they keep making more and I will have a lot to freeze. Well done on the brilliant broccoli.
I guess I shouldn't take the credit for them as Mike takes care of the veggy garden. I just pick and preserve it, cook it and enjoy the home grown meals. My job (and joy) is taking care of the flowerbeds.
wow. those are awesome. now please tell me what variety that is... please please please. I getr so tired of trying this one and that one when growing them and finding myself totally disappointed yearly!
They are 'Green Magic Broccoli'. I ordered it because of the short time (57 days) to picking. I found out (at least last year) that they keep putting out smaller side florets for a long time. More than enough to freeze to last us 12 months.
