who knew?

I had no idea that broccoli is a collection of flower buds! well i learned this interesting fact when I failed to harvest my little broccoli heads (i thought they would get bigger!) and they started to flower! I couldn’t believe it! well good news is that I looked it up, and the flowers are edible. in fact the broccoli heads are sitting in a bowl on our kitchen counter, and almost every time I walk by it, I take a stalk and eat it raw. it is so yummy! i think i will add it to our salads tomorrow..

next step: harvest my flowering pak choi! it is all getting out of hand! …and it doesn’t help that I am working about 95 hours in 8 days… =(

    95 hours in 8 days- that’s rough! I hope it goes by quickly!

    I also had no idea that broccoli is a collection of flower buds. Does it taste any different with the flowers?

      surprisingly, it tasted pretty much like all broccoli! it was pretty cool!
