Scavengers

This is what's called a quality problem, but a problem none-the-less. The broccoli in our garden has never grown... Well, not to maturity anyway. The kids keep eating it. (I know this is a good thing, just wish they'd wait until there were a few large heads to harvest) Every time a new little sprout appears, one of my scavengers pinches it off and eats it. Shown above; Little Man, my boy, thieving a tiny piece of broccoli in broad daylight. The kid has no shame.

Here's Greenie, my daughter. She likes to "check" the carrots - see how big they're growing, how orange they're becoming. Then she eats the thumb-sized specimen in two seconds flat. She does this at least once a day. It'll be a total crap carrot harvest, but that's okay I suppose. It's our first successful year growing carrots, so we're all a little overly excited.

**Does broccoli continue to grow or will it go to seed at this point? I'm thinking of taking it out and planting something else..
