Not because I don’t like broccoli, In fact I love broccoi!
It’s an issue of space.
Is it worth the space in my kitchen garden?
This year I decided broccoli will sit out.
Can you guess which vegetable will take it’s place?
First gardener to correctly guess–wins a free packet of seeds–from me!
down to earth digs 
Oh, I could not venture a guess. I might substitute spinach early. Or carrots for later.
Spinach is a good guess…but I have been growing that in boxes in the greenhouse the past couple of years…we like it small and tender to eat and I can easily keep replanting as I need too! 🙂
Eggplant. Wild guess.
Love this broccoli bouquet.
Ding Ding Ding we have a winner! Eggplant it is!!!
I have your address! 🙂
Oh, Stacey, I am so excited. Eggplant was totally a wild guess. Look forward to the seed packet. Thank you so much.
Kale! Kale is king!
Nope not Kale! 🙂 But yes, Kale is King…can’t get my family to touch it though!
Have you tried chopped small, sauteed in bacon grease with, either diced beets or carrots or sweet potatoes or even zucchini or bell pepper, all finished with eggs? That’s how I learned to start liking it. Bacon makes everything taste better, I think 😉
Cauliflower
I would have a hard time if all my growing had to go in one season more akin to yours…broccoli is a winter plant here, so I think even if I grew eggplant, they may never meet one another on the chopping block.
Hmmm..this was going to be the first year I grow broccoli, I must discuss with you.
Yummy!
If you want to make a morning shake with Kale I’ll share the recipe. You can’t even taste it and it is so good for you!
I think the recommended space they suggest for broccoli is too much? No? I wasted a lot of space with my broccoli last year too.
That is one BE-auitful looking Broccoli, WOW. Are the leaves eatable at all I wonder? I see from about you’re going with eggplant. I love both really but seem to buy Broccoli more often because it’s faster to make (steam and top with fresh lemon) I love eggplant in lasagna though. How do you cook it up usually?
