I have no idea why they took so long! One of the three plants has grown to five feet high. I wonder why I grew such gigantic broccoli and sprouts this year, nothing special was added to the soil and we had a really hot summer with many days over 100F. You wouldn't think that would be conducive to growing huge cole crops. I'm sure the broccoli would still be producing if I hadn't tired of it and ripped it all out.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-35789218711889334132012-10-09T07:27:32.744-07:002012-10-09T07:27:32.744-07:00It did go quickly didn't it.

I've seen lots of little white butterflies, but they only got to those few late cabbages. They didn't even get the early or mid season cabbages. I can't find where I put my spinach seed, so that didn't get planted. It looks like garlic will be the only thing to go into the garden now.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-63287466658470542052012-10-01T08:47:33.969-07:002012-10-01T08:47:33.969-07:00Nutmeg, The Weather Channel isn't predicting a...Nutmeg, The Weather Channel isn't predicting an early frost, but our local TV station says it will happen on Thursday.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-87237613765023700522012-10-01T08:46:30.189-07:002012-10-01T08:46:30.189-07:00Daphne, I planted those sprouts in April, from see...Daphne, I planted those sprouts in April, from seedlings that were started in March! Nearly seven months from seed seems like plenty of time to me. I only grew them one other time, and the plants were much smaller (tall but skinny) and they ripened in mid-summer. Those were covered with aphid and inedible, so I never tried them again until this year. I doubt that I'll give them another chance.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-32362208479898315262012-10-01T08:42:58.599-07:002012-10-01T08:42:58.599-07:00Ed, it can reseed all it wants behind the shed, bu...Ed, it can reseed all it wants behind the shed, but I might give up trying to grow them on the kennel. Odd that it was completely opposite with Heavenly Blue, which blossomed at the kennel but was too late and froze before blooming behind the shed!Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-8609775111799747702012-10-01T04:54:04.149-07:002012-10-01T04:54:04.149-07:00Looks great!

Some years it is so pretty and some year so not so. <br /><br />My brussels sprouts will never give me anything. I knew I shouldn't have planted them. It was way too late. I've yet to plant a brussels sprout and get anything for one reason or another. I think they are cursed in my garden. Usually they don't even make it to planting before their death. This year they have gotten farther than before. They have little purple nubs, but I'd need to be in a much warmer zone for them to live long enough to produce.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-65041176455978689172012-10-01T02:06:56.929-07:002012-10-01T02:06:56.929-07:00'Grandpa Ott' is looking good.
