No this post is not an ode to all things Phil Collins, far from it, unless he is a fan of broccoli grown in adverse conditions. You may remember earlier posts about
my broccoli trial. I don't mean the purple sprouting broccoli, I mean the impulse bought early green broccoli thingo. Well in my infinite wisdom I introduced him to his good friend Mr Snowpea and Mr Snowpea's trellis.
Unfortunately the trellis severely restricted the movement of Mr Broccoli and I thought he would never produce anything edible.
Yet look what I found the other day - a little head growing!
I also added lettuce to this crowded but diverse pot. I keep using so much lettuce in my salads that it is now growing in five pots!
Broccoli, lettuce, snow peas and more - it looks like it is going to be a great harvest in early winter!

Now that truly is a community pot, it will look great when all the lettuce starts spilling over the edge.
Yay, yay! That'd keep you stomach fed for weeks! What great friends you made!
I've never known how broccoli grows. I'll have to try this once I get my garden started. Thanks!
