No wonder you got so many strawbs! How many square feet of fruit you growing there? And good luck with the cabbages. I won't be doing any brassica starts for about a month here. Everything I have left is starting to look like this

I think it’s like 8’ x 5’? 19 plants

Thanks, I haven’t successfully grown one before.

Ohh that’s bolted hard! Poor lil guy. Is it kale?

[–] ThrowawaySobriquet 2 points 5 months ago

Nice. Watch it start taking over in the next couple seasons

Nah, that's actually broccoli. The kale is right behind it. I do black magic kale and it is usually the last thing to start bolting. But! This is a good thing. I'm hoping to collect seeds this year, though I don't know where I'm hoping this particular broccoli is getting pollinated from. We'll see!
