Leslie at AT:SF brings readers a lovely, humble, and uplifting update on her Winter garden. And while East Coast and Midwest readers may envy us West Coasters for our ability to garden year-long, Winter gardening in the San Francisco Bay Area is often an endless battle of torrential downpours, too-little sunlight, and ravenous snails. She's decided to not dwell on her chewed-upon produce and turn her attention to composting for the time being. Leslie has my full congratulations on her efforts — and if it's any consolation, my broccoli hasn't gotten much bigger than that, either! Read the whole story here.
I live in South West Florida, where we too can garden all year
My broccoli got huge, but never produced any veggies. 
Best of luck!
