Let's fire this up again


I tried to grow 5 Cauliflower across one of my raised beds. They each fruited, but two were runts. I will attempt only three next time. I read that Cauli will turn either yellow or purple if the head is too exposed to the sun. This is not one of those genetically-fiddled-with purple Caulis like I saw over at Harris Farm today. Makes no difference to either the taste, or the nutrition. But, I am not a fan.

I had two reaping sessions this week, of about this size. I will walk you through my current plantings over the next week. I love Cauli, but thr proportion of leaf to fruit has to be seen to be believed!
