Broccoli



My first time growing broccoli has proved quite successful! This humble vegetable is actually related to the cauliflower and also comes in a purple variety!  It has been very easy to grow and so far has not been attacked by any bugs or caterpillars! The warm weather is fast approaching so I won't wait too much longer as they will no doubt bolt to seed! Next year I will definitely expand in my planting and try broccolini and the purple variety.  Happy Gardening!

  3. Is it purple sprouting broccoli? We just harvested some of our's and I couldn't believe how delicious it was! I'm already germinating seeds for next year.
