My broccoli cage seems to be working so far. Although, I think I was too ambitious and crowded too much stuff in it. It is so hard to judge when you start with a little seedling.
I have been peeking through the tulle daily trying to decide when to cut the broccoli. Monday was the day.
Look at those leaves, not a bug hole in sight. I dusted it once right after we planted, it rained the next day and I haven't dusted since.
Then, on closer examination, it looked like a head of cauliflower was ready too. Isn't that beautiful and white.
I had fresh broccoli and cauliflower for supper, delicious. And yesterday, I froze 4 packages of broccoli. Not a worm in the bunch. Hope this holds up for the rest of the season.
Never thought of using tule! Good idea! I have to cage my Haskap bushes, they seem to be a favourite snack for robins. I kept thinking they weren't producing, but I saw berries on them one day... and gone the next.
