….is (of course) the broccoli you grow yourself!
One of my Garden Ambassadors harvested the broccoli yesterday.
And after thorough washing, it went back to the classroom. From stem to mouth in the same afternoon!
P.S. Today I saw some of the fifth graders, and I asked them how they liked the broccoli, compared to other broccoli they had eaten. One said, “More moist.” Another said, “Fresher, sweeter.” A third summed it up: “It tasted more green.”
They also said the teacher offered seconds, and the kids rushed the bowl. (Who says kids won’t eat vegetables?)
What's not to like? 
What a rewarding job that must be!
It really is. Now if only we could find more funding…..
“Ranchification”….. totally stealing that. Thanks!
It looks delicious. Our students are so lucky to have our wonderful garden.
And it was delicious! Before serving it, I walked around campus, showing off our harvest! Thanks for your unending support…
T,
If you finish your peas you can have some broccoli ..dad
Ha! Do I have to choose?
These pictures are darling! You’ll be happy to know that although I didn’t grow it myself, your baby sister did eat some for dinner!
Truth: first time I’ve grown broccoli. It really is delicious—no need whatsoever for ranch.
Well now you are just talking crazy. 😉
Ha! Me and my boys like ranch dressing as much as the next person, but I’m really trying to resist the “ranchification” (I just coined that) of all of kids’ vegetable consumption, especially if the food comes straight from the garden and tastes so delicious.
I love it when food gets from the garden to being consumed in the same day!!!
…and into the bodies of small, growing children. What’s not to like?
Nice . . . thank you!! The pics state a thousand words . . .
They do—-and I know you know this particular cutie pie!
