A broccoli selfie


This was supposed to be a picture of a broccoli bouquet I picked yesterday, but the camera wound up a little too close. By the time I looked at the big picture on my computer instead of the little picture on my phone, this broccoli was already chopped up and simmering away in a crockpot, well on its way to its destiny of becoming our dinner.

I think this is the longest I've kept broccoli plants after harvesting the primary heads. They just keep producing little side shoots, and I keep picking them. I see no need to pull up the plants until they stop producing entirely. They are still tasty, and I'm still experimenting with recipes in a quest to find the ideal recipe for broccoli cheese soup.
