The Cage.

Last year I did not use the broccoli cage. I do not remember why.  But I thought I would pull it out of the barn and try it again this year. 

It was a little tricky to get to the house. But I managed.  I also had to make a few repairs. Where I had used duct tape before I did a more permanent repair with fishing line. 

I had already bought four broccoli plants and  four cauliflower plants. After working a couple of loads of manure into the rows I went ahead and put out the plants. 

 They look happy for now. Maybe I will get by without having to use any seven dust this year.
