#brassicas
The universe seems stacked against brassicas.
I was expecting an army of slugs, however it was cabbage worms that chomped some of my cauliflowers down to the ribs.
They're sneaky bastards so I smooshed every single one I could find and then showered all the plants in neem oil solution.
I have no idea what I'm doing.

Buenas, 🙋♀️
Los meses se acaban y los #LunesDeCestas siguen. 😀
Esta semana, predominan las #brassicas. O lo que es lo mismo, #Coliflor #brócoli y #romanesco 🙆♀️
También tenemos nuestra #berza asa de cántaro. #remolacha y un #nabo.
Unos #puerros, y para terminar de aderezar, #rúcula.
Bueno, y el #InviernoMetereológico, que ya está aquí. ❄️❄️❄️
O no...
¡Feliz semana! 🤗
I was discussing vegetables with a coworker (a common occurrence when one works with botanists) and she had never heard about any of these brassica memes. So, courtesy of my lovely coworker who gives me pepper plants and wildflower seeds, please enjoy some brassica oleracea humor :)
I just remembered that I ate the sweetest, most delicious brussels sprouts the other day. I asked the chef what was his secret, and he told me they had been halved, seasoned, then deep-fried.
I will try to emulate this recipe one day.
