Brocolli


Broccoli at last! I can't believe that we grew Broccoli. It was so easy. I'm not the most attentive person to the vegetable garden. While we water it once a week, it doesn't receive very much more attention than that. But as I found out from my green thumb gardener next door, broccoli continues to grow after you harvest your first head. So now we'll have broccoli until late fall. Which is great because Mya and I eat the broccoli right from the garden.

But the real kuddos goes to my dad. As I think our above ground garden is playing a much bigger part to the success of our garden. His idea is to have used Bobcat tracks to hold the garden. The tracks when laid on their side are big black rubber circles. This helps to hold in the heat, water and keep the wildlife at bay.




We covered these tracks with bamboo shades from you home improvement store for pennies.



Ta Da, a Vegetable Garden!
