When you get that rain, please send some down our way.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059935180600513762.post-62489163912673664342012-05-06T11:28:20.877-04:002012-05-06T11:28:20.877-04:00I hope you'll harvest whole plant on broccoli ...I hope you'll harvest whole plant on broccoli raab (rapini) and not just florets. It's all edible - leafs, stems and all. Just blanch it and toss it on the skillet with olive oil and a bit of crushed garlic. good luck with the rain!Jenny Rottingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559432369642740389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059935180600513762.post-45934122263851580412012-05-06T11:27:53.942-04:002012-05-06T11:27:53.942-04:00I just posted my setbacks on my blog this morning....I just posted my setbacks on my blog this morning. My peas may not make it. We have had lots of rain.

The garden transplants were struggling until yesterday. I am wondering if they were crushed by that heavy rain but won't have the courage to look until after another cup of coffee...Stevie@ruffledfeathersandspilledmilk.comSteviehttp://www.ruffledfeathersandspilledmilk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4059935180600513762.post-5526907836776959992012-05-06T07:38:58.990-04:002012-05-06T07:38:58.990-04:00Mother Nature is just amazing, isn't she?

Perhaps we could have a chat with Mother Nature and tell her to spread out the rain love a lil' bit more?

I was planning on potting it up this weekend, but yesterday got away from me, the water in the plate evaporated and today the roots are brown and dead. *sigh* You look away for a moment and a month of effort is lost.
