Keeping harvested broccoli

Last Friday I wrote that Wifey had done a winter harvest of carrots, broccoli, kale, spinach, and a few peanuts.

Until yesterday, we'd eaten everything she had harvested with the broccoli being the exception.  Given we weren't sure how long it would be before we ate the broccoli, we had wanted to stretch it as long as possible.  Wifey had read that one way to keep broccoli is to trim the base of the stalk then put the stem in a vessel of water to help keep it from rotting.

Having done that, we finally had the broccoli with dinner last night.  It was still in fantastic shape almost a week later and everyone except The Bear (who refuses to eat anything green besides guacamole) liked it.
