Broccoli Harvest

We harvested four heads of broccoli yesterday, but they had already stretched and flowered. We have never grown broccoli before but had heard that it does well here in our area. We thought we'd give it a go and we were very successful!  We just didn't know exactly how long to let it grow before harvesting. We left it too long on the stalk and learned our lesson the hard way. Our bitter broccoli was a treat for our rabbits. The gobbled it right up as I sat back and watched. We still have more heads growing from the same plants, but none will be as large as the first.  We'll get it right sooner or later.

Empty Beds & I failed.

We've cleaned out the beds and will be weeding and composting and filling them again soon.  Planning for next year has begun since we slacked off on winter planting. 

This is what's left to compost of our fantastic green onion crop. Andy suggested green onion pesto. The girls love pesto, but I didn't think it sounded good. I made it anyway. I should have gone with my gut because it was not good! It could have been my oil choice or my nut choice, but it whatever it was, it was bitter.
