Let's Try Again!
Broccoli seedlings went in the ground today. Hopefully I got them started
early enough this year so they don't bolt.

Something New
The broccoli started out ok, but then it got hot, the weather went up to over 85F, and the little heads that had started growing just burst out with flowers. Bummer, no broccoli to eat, I will have to wait till next year to make a fresh broccoli and cheese quiche.
I cut the flower stalks off and made a nice little arrangement for the table so it wasn't a complete loss.
I will try to grow it again later, maybe this winter.
Bolting & Blooming
The
broccoli is sending up small side shoots after I trimmed off the main
head after it bloomed. Hmmm... I wonder if these will bloom
too? I was going to pull them out this week and plant peppers,
but I hate getting rid of something that is still alive! ...and
it's leaves are so pretty! Maybe I can dig them up and put them
in pots? oh well.
