I've been getting into my 'late summer - what's for winter this year mode' too.

This year the seedlings were eaten down by something while they were still small. Not your caterpillars as they were covered, but I suspect the pill bugs, slugs, and earwigs. Any of the tree could have done it.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-11735190227306462412013-08-04T21:40:16.608+01:002013-08-04T21:40:16.608+01:00You are right about planning ahead with gardening!...You are right about planning ahead with gardening! I find the biggest challenge is to think about planting in the height of summer when all I really want to do is harvest!

The yield is proportional. The main head is OK, but the secondary shoots are very small. This type of broccoli can be grown in pots if necessary. It matures quite rapidly too, in my experience.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-69029258332440866972013-08-04T17:24:26.391+01:002013-08-04T17:24:26.391+01:00My garden has been a disaster this year but I will...My garden has been a disaster this year but I will do better this fall, I hope.

I planted broccoli this year for the first time and we were thinking of not doing it in the future because they take up so much space for not a large yield. But I'm sad because broccoli is one of my favourite veg!<br /><br />http://liveintheyard.blogspot.caBaconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16098141677419757571noreply@blogger.com
