    I garden in pots. Mostly flowers. But I've started trying out a bit of veg too. My broccoli came out amazing this year on my first try (not in the US. We had a warm winter here, in an otherwise hot country anyways). It was so good. Even a bit sweet! We loved it. Now the side babies are coming up and in a couple of weeks we're going to make a feast out of 3 large plants on a holiday dinner for the whole family. I'm so excited!

    definitely let mine go just a little too long this time (our first time though!) this was very helpful and perfectly informative on how and when to best harvest the broccoli crowns.
    growing food for ourselves and our communities, like was done since time immemorial but is almost nonexistent contemporaneously, is emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually rewarding. direct action, mutual aid, local (literally walking distance) enterprise and cooperative solidarity are all foudational columns of the incipient human revolution.
    Thank you for the fantastic video - liked and subscribed! Will be back for more.

    • @snarkymcsnarkles3493
      @snarkymcsnarkles3493 3 года назад +1

      taking leaves early would further slow the head development i would think. And they are finicky so i would wait until a head forms to take leaves. Or eat all the leaves you like and dont expect a head :)
