Just the other day, I swear, I planted 5 small broccoli plants in my vacant freshly tilled organic garden. During their short lives, I've watered and fed them with some home made good for the earth compost.
To the side and behind the broccoli, I planted pumpkins with the idea that when the pumpkin vines twisted, turned, and took over, the broccoli would be harvested and ready to be turn back to mother earth.
Today was the day. I tiptoed through the pumpkin leaves around the bachelor button flowers and to the broccoli. Nestled in the middle of it's leaves, were heads the size of cabbages. I sliced the heads from their fibrous stocks, piling them in and on top of the garden harvest basket. Each head so large that I could only place one in the basket before piling them on top of each other.
Cleaning the heads, slicing them smaller, and steaming them in the steamer. Bright healthy green trees on our plates to eat. The flavor so fresh and filling one wishes I'd planted 30 more!
Tuesday's Teeming with Treasures are quick motivational notes from my life. Mainly I post them for my use, to help me treasure each day, focus on the AMAZING-NESS that surrounds me. Most importantly they help me remember to get out of me head and into my true self.
Yummy! Homegrown broccoli tastes WAY better than store bought!
