Broccoli flowers

My winter row of broccoli was an almost complete failure, producing only one broccoli plant. It is probably our favorite dinner veggie, but I just had to sit and watch it grow mouth-wateringly large, without harvesting it. It's cool though, I love watching broccoli flower.

Favas dealing with heat, and flowering broccoli

Well, the hot weather the last couple days is definitely stressing out the favas. It's cool to see them turn up their leaves in the heat of the day. So far they are doing remarkably well for what is supposed to be a winter-only crop. Not wilting, just turning up their leaves.
