This spring I blended them in with kale, Swiss chard, and sometimes with mixed Asian greens. The leaves were tender at all stages, didn't even have to remove spines on larger ones. The taste is much milder than collards. Harvesting up to a third or more leaves seemed to have no impact on head formation. It gets hot way too quickly here for broccoli to make much flower head production. As dual use plants, it became much easier to justify the plants footprint in the garden. In the future will grow broccoli both spring and fall.

Squash and cucumbers are being harvested much faster than we can eat them. Perhaps will make some pickles this year. Harvested first egg plant today. Jalapeños and bell peppers are now covering our daily needs. Green beens and corn are about ten days away.
