More Broccoli

Before this gets too boring...
I harvested this romanesco broccoli head last week after it fell over during a rain storm. It was over 4 and a half pounds. I gave some of it to my neighbors and we had at least three meals with it.

Hoop House Folly

OK, it is not a hoop house, it is more like a rectangle. I thought I was really smart, making this mostly out of  scrap PVC pipes. I covered it with Agribon fabric and put my starts in there. It was noticeably warmer inside immediately.


But then the rain and wind came and it all came crashing down.

 

I have switched back to a tented garden shelf for my tomatoes and eggplants. 



And inside, things are growing and staying warmer.
