My First Harvest!
And the winner is…….Broccoli!!
I'm Gonna Eat YOU!!!
After all of our heartache and toil dealing with the bunnies and their lust for our broccoli, it turns out that our broccoli will be the first thing to make it from our garden to our dinner plates.
I’ve had trouble with my broccoli quickly turning from this:
pretty, edible broccoli
To this, in a matter of a day:
Flowering, inedible broccoli
One cannot properly enjoy broccoli once it has gone to flower…duh. So I got out early this morning, chopped the head off and let it hang out in my fridge until dinner time.

What shall I do with my bounty? I certainly know that my favorite way to prepare broccoli is to roast it with a bit of olive oil until it gets a little brown and crusty. Fabulous. It seem a bit fancy to eat alongside our sloppy joes, but I don’t care. It came from our garden and it deserves to be made fancy!
Get in my BELLY!
What a rewarding experience, and there’s just so many more goodies to come! Its only a matter of days until we’ll have zucchini coming out of our ears. Rolls up your car windows, the zucchini are coming…
Mmmm…broccoli!!!
