Lesson of the Day

I learn something new every day. Most of these lessons, I don't seek out. They just come to me on their own. Today I learned that broccoli is a flower, that those little green knobs atop the crown are flower buds. I didn't learn this in a gardening catalog, in an encyclopedia, or even from Wikipedia. I learned this as I went out into the garden this morning. My little florets are giving way to little yellow flowers. Oh, well. Supposedly those are edible too. Hopefully they're good.
