Gosh, it's still friggin' freezing in Colorado. But we can plant broccoli and cabbage.
And you've got to see this gift I got for Lynn. Here is the backstory on those golden boots.
Last spring, I helped Lynn with the lambing season on her farm. Lynn told me I should get some boots I don't mind getting all nasty - like with birthing amniotic fluids, blood, piss, muck... all that kind of stuff. So I went to the thrift shop and found these amazing golden boots. She kept giving me crap about wearing such stylish boots to a lambing....
The funny thing? I wore those boots all through the lambing and they are made of some kind of material that just completely repelled any kind of dirt. I mean, really, they came through like they were never used.
I know Lynn secretly really wanted golden boots to wear at lambing... LOL so I gave them to her. Also, because they didn't really fit me that well.

@Marjory Wildcraft I'm hoping to get to see those golden boots in your episode 10!
Cant wait to see this episode. I’m planting broccoli for the first time this year!
How generous and big-hearted you are! That was so sweet of you to give her the 'golden boots'. I didn't see that coming!
I got rain boots from Zulily for $12 each (got 2 pair) and I love them. I just have to hose them off before I call it a night.
I grew broccoli twice in the spring that never flowered most likely a soil issue but I m not sure. This year I’m going to plant in late summer and try for a fall crop in new and proven soil.
@Marjory Wildcraft is broccoli a good candidate for container planting?
hi @spowell07 You know, I'll go ask Lynn what variety it was we palneted. It was a nice tight small plant, but the great thing was being able to come back and cut again and again. BRB
