Fun Fact Embedded Somewhere In This Post

The onion tops are beginning to fall over, which is a sign that soon they'll be ready to harvest. I've picked the last cauliflower, and plan to plant broccoli this fall, as the cauliflower was a disappointment. A surprising fun fact is that cauliflower and broccoli are really the same species, but just different cultivars.

With the rain and cool weather, I've cut back on watering. It's supposed to rain off and on until Tuesday, and my sense is that the garden will stay wet enough. Everything seems to be growing and healthy despite the weather, but growing slower than normal.

I've always assumed that cauliflower and broccoli were varieties of the same plant. They look similary.
