I need more broccoli / myLot

The salad I made for the funeral dinner looked so good I want to make some for us. I still have all the ingredients except the broccoli, so I guess I need more. It had broccoli, cauliflower, raisins, sunflower kernels, red onions and bacon bits with a sweet creamy dressing. We had a chance to have beet and turnip greens with tiny turnips and beets in them for supper tonight. When they planted the beets and turnips they planted them too thickly so we had to thin them. I also need to thin the spinach and lettuce. It sounds as if I will be eating lots of greens.

Well, you are about thirteen hours ahead of me. I would guess you are due a meal.

It sounds very healthy. It is good for you to eat so many kinds of vegetables.

Sometimes the heat gets in and gets trapped. I find I sweat after a cup of coffee. Yes, I am putting broccoli on my list for today.

It is impossible to plant some things without the need to thin them later, isn't it?

We who are doing the thinning are not the ones who planted, but it does make a good time for fresh spring veggies.

Nothing wrong with greens! I make the broccoli salad differently now but I used to be addicted to it at one time.

There are several versions out there. One called Amish broccoli salad that has sour cream. The first time I had this it had honey mustard dressing on it.
