I let a lot of the broccoli flower for two reasons. 1) I have plenty and it still keeps producing more and more, and 2) the yellow flowers look nice. So I picked all the blooming broccoli flowers as well as the purple mint flowers and made a bouquet. Sorta cool...

JoeSoGarden Update -- Poppin' Off
The garden has really exploded over the last month. I need to reign in the tomatoes before they destroy the onions. The broccoli has sprouted nice, large, dense heads. The carrot row looks like a little forest, and the triangle plot got some transplants and a row of yellow and pink flowers. I've made mojitos twice with the mint. The cilantro has turned into coriander and the basil looks fantastic. Take a look!
