—”And there is also fly larvae in your blackberries and aphids in your broccoli”
More than that in broccoli!
My dad retired to become a serious gardener and one day gifted me a large bag full.
My neighbor asked if it was sprayed. He said if not it is full of worms!!!
He also said to soak it in salt water and you will see the worms and wash them off.
Holy moly !!! Were there the worms!!! A bazillion of them!!!
I love fresh broccoli, but only the stuff that has been treated with a list of hazardous chemicals.
If it glows in the dark without worms that is ok by me.
Lol. Love your broccoli story and agree with you on using chemicals.
