Harvesting Broccoli

The crop of broccoli this year is the best ever. Moving the plants to the newer plot space was a great help; no club root (infected soil results in gnarled root structure that slowly kills off the plant) plagued my brassicas. Thus, many healthy, straight-standing, broccoli plants. The main plot space is nearly entirely infected with the club root virus. I have tried planting in different areas of the plot, but usually lose most of my broccoli crop each year to club root.

As for the rest of things...the corn in the main plot is really beginning to take off. The celery and peas are nearly ready to harvest. Also, the latest bunch of bush beans (take two) have sprouted and are growing. I guess the soil temperature is finally warm enough.
