Thanks, Mordechai. Hope you are doing well. Still waiting on rain here. We use the drip irrigation for plants that are already established (transplants and after true leaves form) and hand water newly seeded beds through germination.

Your vegetables look amazingly healthy. Hope you get the rain you need. I noticed drip irrigation in one of the photos. Do you ever water anything by hand with a hose?

Hi Brandon,

We have not grown broccoli in about 5 years and had limited success with it then. I think if it’s starting to flower, then you should probably cut it now and enjoy what you have.

I planted my broccoli over a month ago thinking I would be safe but it appears like it is on the verge of bolting. Should I cut the caps off?

Thanks Annabel! Soil is a resource to be conserved, just as we (should) view air and water. Looking forward to reading more and experimenting with compost tea. Using resources we have on hand -yes!
