They look (and perform) great. I also love the creative lettuce planting! Every year I tell myself that I want to be more creative, but every year everything seems to end up in straight rows.

Give it time. It was the first year I've ever grown cauliflower and I can't get over how huge and prehistoric the leaves are compared to the actual vegetable, edible part. Amazing. I'm betting your broccoli is going through the same thing. Stick with it!

I think with the broccoli you should let it mature it a bit more and maybe you'll get some bigger heads. Seems it takes a bit of time for that, but I also had smaller heads here last year. No luck with it this year at all. ttyl and have the greatest day!tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6056175194573952795.post-67070983704302600752009-06-05T09:41:28.314-06:002009-06-05T09:41:28.314-06:00Your peas look good -- mine just died, perhaps it ...Your peas look good -- mine just died, perhaps it was the heat here, too!
