BROCCOLLI
Broccoli is a hardy vegetable of the cabbage family that is high in vitamins A and D. It develops best during cool seasons of the year.
When broccoli plants of most varieties are properly grown and harvested, they can yield over an extended period. Side heads develop after the large, central head is removed. Two crops per year (spring and fall) may be grown in most parts of the country. New heat tolerant varieties allow broccoli to be produced in all but the hottest parts of the season.

For Christmas 1979, Santa delivered three bicycles, one was for Gary, one was for Rhonda and the other one, pictured above, a 10 speed, speedway 8 was for me. The bicycle was being kept in the basement at Rhonda's house. I had given it to Jonathon who was attending VCU in Richmond and he had a newer bicycle. Rhonda moved to Wilmington and the bicycle came back to me, home again. I took it to a bicycle repair shop, new brake pads, tubes, adjustments etc. still hear a noise in the lower gears.

HIBISCUS TEA MAY CUT BLOOD PRESSURE?
Drinking 3 Cups a Day May Lower Hypertension
"Most of the commercial herbal tea blends in the United States contain hibiscus."
Drinking hibiscus tea blends may lower systolic blood pressure -- the top number in the blood pressure reading -- by an average of 7 points.
While a 7-point drop in blood pressure might not seem like much, studies have shown that "even small changes in blood pressure ... when maintained over time ... will reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack."
