Beautiful Broccoli

So the photos of broccoli that are smaller and left justified are earlier pictures. I have three broccoli plants right now that I know of though I did plant one by seed that is super small right now. The center justified pictures are the newer ones.
















Broccoli is so cool when it flowers. It seems to grow a third in size each week.




















They are also cut an come again vegetables. I'm not sure when I do it, but once these flowers get big enough I'm supposed to cut them out and the broccoli in order to propagate itself will develop side flower shoots. So cool!

I've always enjoyed the sweet taste of broccoli. Now that I don't eat sugar it is even taster. Broccoli is one of those super vegetables when it comes to nutrients and back when I was going vegan it was suggested in many of my nutrition books to eat 1 cup of broccoli a day. I think it is odd that I finally have garden but I'm a meat eater now.
















I think whenever 'tis the season broccoli will be the first thing I plant...
