Harvesting Broccoli Stems and Leaves

This morning we harvested  a few of our broccoli plants for their stems and their leaves, as we need their space for summer plants. I'm still leaving a few that are starting to form heads on them, in hopes that they can finish forming before warmer weather settles in. So we are going to use the stems to make  broccoli slaw to go along with the London Broil that I am going to grill for Julia's birthday.We will save the leaves to make broccoli collard greens.
