First Broccoli

Thanks to the big storm we had yesterday, I found our first stalk of broccoli.  The bed had been covered with Remay, but the wind was so strong that I decided to remove it before it got shredded.  Today I went out to see what things looked like and there was a nice big stalk of broccoli.  I also I found two green caterpillars in it.  Sigh.  I think I'll just give up on the cover and patrol every day for insects.

I also found four nice yellow squash and two green ones.  The yellow ones are really pumping them out.  The variety is 'Cube of Butter.'  I think next year I'll just grow that one and maybe a pattypan.
