Broccoli update

It seems I have already lost the broccoli. It started well…

The seeds shot up, strong and healthy.
Once outside, it seems the cabbage white prefer the brocoli to the nasturtium.
it didn’t take long for the munching to begin.
caught in the act

I don’t mind at this point, nature needs a helping hand too and I am just getting started learning what to do with plants to keep them safe. Limited space in the garden means I have to share for now, but when I can have a separate space for growing food, i’ll plant extra out for the insects, so they can still join in.

Broccoli

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

I have started some seeds for carrots and broccoli, but so far the broc is winning by a mile (although it’s not a competition and I’m not judging them on it), but in just half a day, magic happened. From yesterday morning first thing it started…

this was at 6:08 am
By 1:30pm, they had really shot up!
By 8:00pm, all standing up and turned darker green.
New surroundings

And today they start their outdoor adventure, we shall see if they make it against the elements and the wildlife. I will do some learning along the way I am sure. Last time I did brocoli a number of year ago, caterpillars got them, so we’ll see how it goes.
