Just when I was starting to think that I had planted mutant broccoli or had a serious soil nutrient deficiency, I finally have gotten some broccoli! I harvested 3 plants for a total of 1.7 lbs. I looked back through my blog, and I planted my plants on May 1st. The harvest time is 60-80 days from setting out plants, so actually I was doing okay. Next year, I need to get my plants out earlier. A very crazy spring work schedule delayed that this year. With it being so hot now, as well as very dry, I may not get much more. Perhaps I can start some more plants and get a fall crop.....there's a thought. :)
Our faithful prowler of the yard, Riley. :) He needed photo credit as well since he came out with me to pick the broccoli.
