Hi All:) I started my very first garden this year. I planted romaine hearts, Ice burg lettuce, broccoli, cucumbers (which are blooming like CRAZY), watermelon, tomatoes (1 plant), red & green peppers (1 plant each), Jalapenos (1 plant), and cherry red hot peppers (1 plant)....So my journey has been filed with trial and error. My first error was waiting too long to pick my broccoli. They ended up flowering. I Googled this and found out that it was too late to pick them once flowered so now I know. (6 plants later..lol) I also have a herb garden of onions (which i don't think did well b/c when I pulled them the bulb was still small but the stem was over 6' tall so I chucked them..), garlic (They are still in the ground) Cilantro, basil, German thyme, rosemary and parsley. So these are my questions.... How do I know when I can pick or start using the cilantro, onions (for next time), and garlic? Also for next season how would I know when the broccoli is ready to be picked? and once I pick them, do they come back? I can take pics if you guys want so you can see what I'm talking about as far as the herb garden goes...thanks in advance:)
