Broccoli

I found out today that broccoli doesn't do well once it gets hot. Our broccoli plants were started in a hot greenhouse and then planted in the big garden. Caroline and I were so excited that we saw the first florettes beginning to form on some of the plants. Yesterday when I was out there spraying for the cabbage Looper,(the picture here. Click on it and it will get bigger. It is not as cute as you think) I noticed that the first florettes that we had seen were now flowering with little yellow flowers. I found out today that they are going to seed and no more broccoli will form. So this weekend out they will come.

A shout out to everyone to read a new blog that I have discovered. The link is on the side where blogs of note are. It is the Crossroads of Nowhere. Click on it and have a read and a giggle. We have all had strange summer jobs but some of the jobs that this person has had cracks me up. Scan down and read them all. Too too funny!!!
