We aren't already gardening, we are still gardening. This is our Fall planting of broccoli. We're in San Antonio and the broccoli usually doesn't freeze here. It's rather cold-hardy. I just have to make sure that I water before a freeze. I guess a hard freeze might kill the newer plants but we don't get a lot of those. Sorry ’bout your icky weather Michelle.

I'm so jealous of your broccoli!!! Ours all died. I am suspecting a child overdid the fertilizer and burned them, but I'll never know. I just ordered all my catalogs so I can start planning for this years gardens... I have the four rows which are 4 x 50, and added three more boxes nearer the house which should add at least another 100 feet (again, four feet wide). I am excited about these as they are all our own compost in the dirt! And we used cedar trees as the edging. The electric company had cut down the trees around the lines, and Eric and the boys have been hauling for me ever since. I just can't see wasting them, can you? Of course, I am the ideas person... they are the slave labor. Wait... no... they are the grunt labor... no... they are the cheerful volunteers, eager to do anything their Dear Mother requests in her mad schemes... ;) Oh… I’m so jealous of your broccoli!!!
