Sometimes pure dumb luck is just better than being smart or knowing what you were doing. Last fall I bought a six pack of broccoli starts. Good move. Delaying the planting and leaving them unplanted was a dumb move. Then dumber the longer I left them around. I can't even remember when I finally planted them, but the garden police could not have been happy with my laziness. I never expected that they would mature when I finally put them in, but I never expected that El Nino would come to my rescue.
This morning I put on my brand new boots, then slogged my way to the garden. And was thrilled that I took the trip.
Look at that broccoli. And a couple of days after Christmas! Oh how lucky I am. Dumb lucky.

I failed to mention that I got even dumber. I had found more broccoli starts, and yes I bought them. And admired them in their little container. At some time they went into the garden with absolutely no chance of maturing. But yet...
Dumb, even dumber. If you look real closely, you can see small heads developing. I never thought these would make it. El Nino, bring them on.
