Broccoli Picking

I've had a pretty paltry broccoli crop this year. The chickens took out
a plant or two and for some reason others didn't survive to adulthood.
I think I've got some cauliflower coming along - we'll see what my
teenage plants produce. Here's two broccoli photos.

One shows a big sprig that I should have picked sooner (see the buds starting to bloom).
The other shows a plant that was moments away from getting picked.

Some of these plants will keep putting up small sprigs and can continue
to be harvested for a few weeks. The amounts are good for salads or, I
suppose, omelets. Some plants will produce a huge, several-pound head. I
don't think I'm getting any of those this year.
