Bummer...

We arrived home this weekend and noticed some of our tomatoes were spotted. After a little research, we found out it was blossom end rot. It's caused by a lack or imbalance of calcium in the soil. We'll be mixing a solution of Epsom salt and water for the rest of the season to help give our soil a boost. I just hope we catch it before it effects the rest of our new tomatoes. 

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.
