Some of you may remember how my broccoli plant appeared to be suffering when the cling film greenhouse was destroyed by high winds and everything inside was suddenly exposed to the cold temperature of the night.
This image was shot on Jan 9th, at which point there was no sign of the broccoli fruit.
I put a 20cm Lakovsky coil at its base (copper wire open circuit with opening facing north) and hoped for the best.
By the 15th Jan the plant looked super healthy again and the fruit made its first appearance.
A few days later here on the 17th Jan.
It snowed on the 21st Jan and was super cold for a week.
This is what it looked like one month later on the 24th Feb.
28th Feb.
9th March.
On the 13th March it felt like the right day to pick it.
And here it is in the kitchen before I ate the whole thing raw with hummus.
The taste was sensational!
Unfortunately this broccoli was planted before I knew about electroculture so there is no control group.
But what I can tell you is that our broccoli plants for the last three years have looked more like this one at the end, before going to flower.
The above broccoli is growing on a ley line which appears to have a negative effect on lots of plants so I cannot count it as a fair comparison.
But I am super happy with my first electroculture result here and look forward to improving on this next season.
This is what it looks like today (five days after removing the head) still not flowering and apparently intending to give us more yummy fruit :)
Ever conscious of images like this one (taken from this film), I am excited to see how our next broccoli plants look...
If any of you have experience growing broccoli I would be interested to get your feedback on this post.
Does my fruit appear bigger than normal?
Love & Light everyone 馃尡
