This is my broccoli, and I must say, for near bolted, it tasted pretty darn good. Nutty is how I would describe it with a slight bitterness that I attribute to its near-bolt status. Tomorrow I'll get to photographing the garden in its current state, full of stuff that it is. Being away, I missed the front yard broc -is now tall and an aphid magnet. My side yard broccoli is tall, mostly without florets, and completely pest free after a mini-bout a month ago with some green cabbage worms. I squished em. I got this floret from a small-potted broccoli in the side yard. Tomorrow into the garden, and as much as you may not like this -I hope the sun don't shine.
