Forced Broccoli Harvest 5-14-2022

I just finished cutting up the broccoli and putting it into freezer bags. I’m not sure what to expect on the remaining plants. Sometimes they will sprout ‘side shoots’ with a bit more broccoli, so I’m leaving them in for now.

Later I’ll go harvest as much spinach as I can. I’ll keep going out, harvesting, and processing the early spring plants until the job is finished, hopefully, by the end of the weekend.

One nice surprise – I have several little bitty heads of cauliflower that are still looking good at the moment! When I told my husband, he looked at me with a bland look on his face, saying, “Oh, GOOD.” (He doesn’t like cauliflower. :0) )

We’ll have lunch and I’ll rest a bit before going to get the spinach.
