Broccoli Rabe
That’s it. What could be simpler than growing broccoli rabe? It really is a very easy garden vegetable to grow.
The plant gets it name from the broccoli-like florets at the tip, but it really has a different taste and growing habit than broccoli. It is called called broccolini, rabe, and rapini. Whatever name you call, it’s delicious!

I grew some one year. We liked it. I tossed some in olive oil with garlic salt and grilled it. Yummy. Our summers get to hot for it to last long though so I decided not to give it space in my small garden again. Hope yours does well.
Very Informative!
