Broccoli Flowers

I chose to grow broccoli last fall because I had one more open row in my garden I needed to fill, but it wasn't a plant I was super excited about. I thought it would be all this work for one broccoli floret per plant. But I have been so pleasantly surprised! We have gotten so many small florets after harvesting the big ones. My family has eaten so much roast broccoli over the fall. My 5yo says it's her favorite vegetable. We've also been making a bunch of broccoli "chips" by roasting the leaves with salt, pepper, and parm. We also add the leaves to our collard greens! I finally let one of the plants flower because I cannot keep up with all of the side shoots and it looks so pretty! Loving these plants ☺️
