Broccoli! Planted it a couple months ago (it's in one of the clay pots in the second photo) and it's actually flowering, yeehaw! Really pretty happy about this because I had my doubts. The brussel sprouts are still hanging in there and the plant looks healthy but it's not doing anything too exciting. The lettuce is still thriving nicely. Replanted a couple of them in the ground and they are looking better already.
Everything else (succulents in tiny gourds and cacti, mainly) is doing well. My prickly pear sprouted another hand a couple months ago and it got out of control rather quickly. I should take an updated photo- it's much bigger than the main guy now.
I'm going to plant some chives and parsley today I think, and I've got some snow peas, cabbage and more greens I want to try too. Luckily we don't get many freezes here and stuff grows pretty easily most of the year.

Looks like you are enjoying a few successes in pots! GREAT! I have never thought of growing broccoli in a pot...but what a fascinating idea!
ReplyDeleteI always think it is exciting when you grow something yourself.
ReplyDeleteI like the succulents! Congrats on your broccoli, it feels good to grow you own Veggies.
ReplyDeletei didn't know broccoli can grow in a pot.:p
ReplyDeletei love cactus--i've been wanting to cultivate them but my mom is superstitious and doesn't want cactus in the house.:p
Nice pictures you show.
