Hi Steemit friends! I am way late on planting some broccoli, but I'm giving it a shot this year. According to NC State (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:5QbhUalfh9cJ:https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/growing-a-fall-vegetable-garden+&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us), August 15th is when I should be planting my broccoli crop. I ended up planting it yesterday, October 10th. I went by the local plant store and they still had a lot of broccoli (and other fall crop plants) out, so I let them know it's way late according to the "authorities" and that I'd be taking a chance on buying these plants now. They agreed, so they let me have buy one flat, get one free. I thought that was fair, so I got the two flats. ![IMG_2618.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf6eaJ5SvodD9HKJzspo3ZNgpCYYdkwqABERzNkiQmreL/IMG_2618.JPG) I had cleaned up a couple of my beds, #1 and #3... I was going to fill them up with some of the sawdust, but I wanted to immediately plant these, and decided to just use the soil medium that was still in there and go with that. ![IMG_5786.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbPMLHNHcVecU8sYJRKYTdMGSsgSnRw3sBjzqHcN2nKZA/IMG_5786.JPG) ![IMG_5787.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQXopg2RGCZ12vWyM4Kgt5X9xoZf2Qd9DKRrRxPjBg7Es/IMG_5787.JPG) I did put up some agribon (https://amzn.to/2B4un1g) on the in the garden greenhouse hoops, so maybe that will help. I'll do more posts as we progress to share if I was too late or not. We shall see!
