I discovered this tasty tidbit much to my delight in the fall of 2022 on a drive up the coast to see family. It is a tender “baby” version of broccoli if you will. Several weeks ago I found some small starter plants at a local nursery who decided to come home with me and take up residence in the clay pot you see pictured below. I’m looking forward to a small harvest of broccolini in perhaps middle to late February.
Happy New Year.

I think the title says it all.
A splash of red in a thicket of green.
Just a Hint of Green
The cycles of drought and rain trade places in California. One can read about this in some of the wonderful books by John Steinbeck, a native Californian. I celebrate my 40th year as an immigrant to California this year. After an extremely dry fall and winter, we finally received the first rain a few weeks ago. It prompted me to venture out after the storm had passed. Amazingly, just one heavy rain storm woke up the ground. I caught the view of this lovely hill, sprouting just a hint of green.
