Winter 2026 #2/10: Another Early Crop of P.S.B.

Written By Katie Green

I guess Purple Sprouting Broccoli wanted to be a January crop again this year, and you won’t find me complaining. I’ll take the little glimmers and delights where I can find them. For those of you who joined us last Summer and may not have had the pleasure, PSB is one of our favorite overwintering crops. We plant it in late Summer and typically get to harvest it in early Spring/late Winter; however, this temperate January weather (excluding the past couple of frosty mornings, of course) seems to have coaxed it along a little early again this year. Unlike typical crowning broccoli, the sprouting stuff flowers into tender little shoots that are to be eaten leaf, stem, floret and all. The crew went through and did a first round pick this morning, and we’ll have a nice little bit to share with folks this week. Yum! These cold mornings have me craving warm, nourishing bowls of soup all hours of the day, so it seemed as good a week as any to break out another round of aromatic Celery Root to go with Potatoes and Leeks that I’ve sourced from fellow organic growers in Washington for this week. No matter how you slice it, mash it or roast it, you’ll have good stuff to work with this week.

Take Care,

Katie
