Every time I've tried to grow broccoli, it has been eaten by deer, rabbits, slugs, or aphids. May yours be free of these critters!
I'm in a daily battle with the snails, caterpillars and butterflies!
They look so innocent!
Yet, it was the broccoli that the butterflies, not locusts, favored first. For the Lord had ordained that this green shoot, with its crown like unto a tree, be the first to witness the might of His judgement. And lo, not a single stalk of broccoli remained; it was stripped bare, its beauty consumed, and its greenness vanished from the land of Egypt.
And the people lamented, for the broccoli had been a favored vegetable amongst them, rich in nourishment and taste. But the Lord's will was clear, and His signs undeniable. Through the consumption of the broccoli, the people of Egypt bore witness to the power and the fury of the Almighty.
I know ๐ at first I was like ohh look butterflies! The garden is coming back to life! Two days later.. ๐
