Green Thumb

Last year my dad went through the Master Gardener program in North Texas, and Patrick and I decided to start a little garden of our own. Thanks to a super hot summer the only thing that grew well was jalapenos, but we decided to take another swing at it in the milder fall that we have in central Texas. So, we planted a whole crop of tomatoes and one broccoli plant. The tomatoes flourished, but the broccoli was a little delayed. We decided not to pull it up, but left if through the winter. After all the rain and weather that we had, the broccoli grew into this huge plant, and today I was able to harvest our broccoli. I have to say that I am very proud of our little crop, and plan to plant this again in September.
