Though I can't eat broccoli much right now 'cause the kiddo doesn't seem to like it, it is serving a great purpose feeding the bees through the winter. They seem to love it. Both of the broccoli's that are in flower are swarming with bees and not just the little bees that I saw last full, but big bees unafraid of the camera.
I've never seen fully flowered broccoli before and it is quite pretty, both close-up and at a distance. For all my neglect, my 4x8 bed is flourishing. The brussel sprouts are finally coming up it looks like I have two plants from the seeds I planted. I have some new broccoli that I seeded last September/October that is finally making an appearance. All this and I didn't bother to cover it during any of our freezes. A couple of our Austin friends who also have gardens covered their veggies during the freeze and they still aren't doing all the well. Must be a location issue. Though I'm not getting to eat anything from my garden 'cause my pregnant tummy can't handle it, I'm getting a great sense of accomplishment when I see how pretty my veggie garden is...
