Enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of first-time parenthood. Progress on the organic vegetable garden and other ramblings of a gaijin in Japan’s least populous prefecture.

Broccoli

Mid September, I transfered six plants that were given as a gift. Early October, one was lost one to a typhoon, left devoid of everything except a leaf.

Soon afterwards, I discovered one of the remainders was a cabbage. Being on it’s own, I replaced the topless plant with another cabbage.
There has been the odd lacewing cocooned on the sides and a few caterpillars crawling about. A couple of weeks into January the harvesting began.
Never a fan of Broccoli, having grown it I can say I am quite fond of it.
The first head went into a pasta dish, now there are only two plants left, it would be worthwhile exploring some different ways it prepare it.
One of the plants went straight into flower.
