Vegetables for Mother’s Day
By roystahl | May 12, 2008
What is a flower?
A broccoli that hasn’t yet bloomed. So why not do some pre-planning in your garden, if you can, and get a broccoli ready to harvest by Mother’s Day. Imagine the delight of your mom as you reveal a bouquet of Umpia and a pot of boiling water. What say’s, “I love you mom” more than “eat healthy”? And if you miss time your broccoli it may be blooming instead.
In order to pull off this unique and strange mother’s day gift, first use Plangarden to see when your last Frost date is. Your Broccoli will need a good month of no frost in order to pull this off. If you garden by zones you better be an 8-10 hardiness zone, or located in a southern growing region or close to an ocean. Then track the progress of your Mother’s Day Broccoli by using the daily log. I would suggest that you make a few planting a few before and week after the intended date just to make sure.
As a back-up to this bold and daring plan, you might want to have dozen roses. Not all moms will understand being showered with a bouquet of broccoli.
