Winter Broccoli Growing Strong

December 23, 20100

I have been slow with my updates this season, mostly because I have been on the road with work and busy with holiday prep. As I have mentioned in previous posts, knowing that I had a very busy schedule this season I am only growing a few small things. Broccoli is one of them! I have 9 plants growing and they are all starting to set fruit. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy broccoli and are both hopping for a decent crop from these 9 plants! While looking at my broccoli I looked over at the strawberries and noticed that my strawberries are starting to flower!
