Miscellaneous Notes & Observations:
I did set the heater in the Greenhouse. I need to start to fill the water jugs for the plants I will winter over in there.
The Tamarack trees have all turned now. They are beautiful. I tried to take a photograph of them but I wasn’t happy with it. Too late in the day to take the picture. Next weekend.

About Broccoli Rabe
This is a leafy green vegetable that is frequently eaten in Southern Italy and has become popular in the United States. The vegetable has a slightly bitter taste and is frequently steamed or lightly sauteed in olive oil.
The Broccoli Rabe flower looks similar to the broccoli florets. Despite the name this plant is not a type of broccoli but it is in the same brassica family. One of the many health benefits of this vegetable is that it is rich in certain phytochemicals, including sulforaphane and indoles. These are chemicals which are proving to protect us against cancer.
