We do afterall, eat the flower buds when we eat a head of broccoli.
Each time I grow this green yumminess I just can't help but let 1 or 2 plants go to bloom.
These beautiful flowers attract the bees and are oh so pretty.
closer view.
And then there is cauliflower. When I buy cauliflower and broccoli at the store I just group them together as "heads" and expected them to grow on a plant the same way.Well, they do...
and they don't.
Broccoli grows straighter up on a stalk while cauliflower stays a little more hidden and covered up.
Kind of like us as Christ followers.
A beautiful end product yet the end product doesn't always take the same path getting there- may we never forget that.
May we love one another as we grow in the way God planned for us each to grow.
Now the cauliflower....
hidden...
digging deeper.....
finally a close-up.
So there you have it- my broccoli and cauliflower section of the garden as it sits today- well until about 5 minutes from now when I go cut the cauliflower plant.Toddles!

Well I sure learned something new about broccoli today! Wow, when you let it go to flower it sure is beautiful. I would love to start a garden...You are inspiring me! We have some problems with raccoons and other animals that like to eat everything in sight. Have you had any issues with animals in your garden Michelle? Brian used to grow some vegtables out back. He had this great idea to raise large pots up on PVC pipes. That worked pretty good for awhile, but alas...no more veggies..Hubby got busy, and my thumb is not very green! I'm willing to try though!
