It rained last night and this morning so when it cleared tonight I went to check on the broccoli and could see little white tips so knew that I better get them picked. They are so small but since I have never gotten broccoli out of that garden and these grew in the raised beds which only had some half composted compost and half a bag of manure/compost from the store, I say this harvest is promising good things to come.
I love the winter garden, for hardly any effort it rewards you with lots of fresh broccoli, cabbage, and a host of other vegetables. Yours look great.
ReplyDeleteI think you did great! Just keep filling those beds up and planting...keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of half composted compost. Enjoy your broccoli!
ReplyDeleteYum..nice looking broccoli. Don't you just love it when you pick your very own fresh vegetables? Have a great Christmas. Maa
ReplyDeleteSo the raised beds are already earning their keep! Looking forward to hearing how you cooked the broccoli...
ReplyDeleteLovely, there is nothing like home grown veg.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of dipping them in some homemade ranch dressing and just eating them raw! And then doing a post on making homemade ranch, lol, have to get some actual measurements for that.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to get a crop at this time of year!
ReplyDeleteI harvested 2 more little ones this morning. It is so warm here this year it doesn't even feel like winter. Makes me worry about January and February though. My winter experience here has always been that if it is mild to begin with we end up with ice storms in Jan. and Feb. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteVery promising! Especially as a December harvest. Nice job.
