See what a little rain can do.

I'm still somewhat of a serf these days at the Culp Farm, contributing to the Christy & Amy Winter Garden when I can.  I don't get over there nearly as much as I should, but I get over there.  I stopped by this week and found these things in it.  We rule!!

That's cauliflower on the right, broccoli on the left.  These plants are huge!  Make a big circle with your arms in front of you, they're bigger than that.

This is clearly one of the cauliflowers, but the edges are kind of purply-pink.  Now, up until now, I have despised cauliflower.  It's only in the garden because Christy likes it and I want to claim I can grow it.  The Tall One only eats it if it's drowned in authentic Gruyere cheese.  I picked off a couple of these and ate them straight from the plant- so good.  

More cauliflower, no purple.


This is the biggest broccoli.  I think I'm supposed to pick it now, but I don't know.  It's not spitting out little yellow flowers yet so I think I'm OK.

On a side note, I took these pictures on Thursday.  I then realized this morning (Sunday) that I didn't know where my camera was, but I did remember the last placed I used it.  I go back over the the Culp Farm and there it is, sitting on the patio cement, dirt spatters on it because it rained on Friday.  I hit the power button- and it turned on.  I even took another picture with it. Olympus cameras- can get rained on and still work!  I'm a fan now.

I like gardening!  I can't wait until I'm done with school so I can garden more!!
