Of course, there weren't as many as I was expecting given that I didn't have them covered. But I'm not complaining about not too many worms.

We keep picking until after the frost, it's just an amazing plant. Another reason I like picking side shoots is it's easier to find those worms :)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11777871420440458786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-85109491443455135242012-08-29T07:42:12.587-05:002012-08-29T07:42:12.587-05:00Mmmmmm, how about a nice Broccoli and cheese soup!...Mmmmmm, how about a nice Broccoli and cheese soup!!

So, I've been picking those little green worms. Ugh. But, careful cleaning when I chop it and a 90 minutes soak in salt water generally does the trick.Judy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-81027964004736929712012-08-28T21:25:27.056-05:002012-08-28T21:25:27.056-05:00WOW!WOW!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576053785355324560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1412316033303635508.post-31085168498692653392012-08-28T21:02:29.463-05:002012-08-28T21:02:29.463-05:00Oh boy, I'd love to have gotten that much broc...Oh boy, I'd love to have gotten that much broccoli this year!
