Some of you may remember that I was rather stressed about my brassicas not performing in the vegetable bed. They were growing very well but not making heads. Around that time I made a new friend who is a veggie farmer who kept on urging me to just wait. I read up about them and decided that I would have to pull them all up and start again. I was again urged to just wait.
My new friend came to visit me recently, and walked into my veggie garden and yanked a complete broccoli plant out of the ground. I nearly hit him over the head!
He showed me where I had J-rooted the plant but kindly (and probably because he saw my face) replanted the plant in the same spot. I did not hold out much hope for it though.
Well today I can announce that my brassicas all have heads and I will be getting some cauliflowers, broccoli and cabbage. Yay!

As you can see – I am loving my new camera. So many new things in my life right now. This is good. 
He is good for you and your brassicas. Yay to the Pen
Great title, Jackie. Isn’t it magical to watch a garden grow?

Good new lesson! I’m grateful for your new friend. I’ll keep an eye out for this in future now too.
