Let the harvesting begin...

How gorgeous is this incredible head of broccoli, the first to be harvested today from the Earth Boxes. Last season we started them from seed and got very lush plants but NO HEADS, just lots of inedible stalks & leaves. This time Mike bought a pack of seedlings, which obviously worked.

The first time I ever grew broccoli was in my raised garden that ran the length of our berm in North Carolina. Once the little heads peeked out from under their embracing leaves, I watched them like a hawk. You could almost see them grow in front of your eyes because they matured so quickly. And then one day I walked over and was greeted instead by a bouquet of bright yellow flowers surrounded by leaves the size of elephant ears. I guess that's why they call them "florets". I had waited too long. Instead of being part of dinner, it became the centerpiece. You only make that mistake once.

Now that it finally feels more like Fall, I'm making soup and craving Brooklyn style comfort food. For me that translates into things like bialys and rugelach, both on this week's menu. If you want to order something special in time for Chanukah or Christmas, even if it isn't on the menu, contact me. After next week I'll only be doing Special Orders for the last two weeks of December.
