It became apparent that broccoli just wasnβt going to be something we grew here. I didnβt even attempt it for the last couple years because what was the point π€·ββοΈ This year my husband has built more garden space and raised beds for me so when we saw some plants at the store he said get some. If nothing else it can be a trap crop π BEHOLD our very first broccoli π₯¦ growing in the trap crop. The cooler weather lasting longer this season has really made them happy and me as well.
