Is this the broccoli?

I know it's tiny, but I am so excited! This is the first time I did winter protection. After I removed winter protection and moved her to a more sunny spot, we had some cold spells. She looked like dead for several days. Should I feed her more blood meal/bone meal?? I really want to pamper her!

Looks like a good possibility!!

Leaves look like they took the brunt of the cold weather.......maybe they served as protection for the developing buds.

I wouldn't apply any fertilizer now (and neither blood or bone meal anyway) but mulching with compost or composted manure never hurts.

Thank you @gardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)! I just mixed some cow manure and compost and also added some mulch! I cannot wait!
