Broccoli is a plant of the Cabbage family, Brassicaceae. The family includes many vegetables: broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, collards, kale and kohlrabi.
It was introduced in England in the early 16th century known as “ Italian asparagus” or “sprout cauliflower”.
Here is our first head of broccoli of the season picked this afternoon!
The softball is there for size comparison.
The other (3) plants are not too far behind, so we'll be picking more broccoli again very soon.
