Monday Harvest - 22nd July '13

It's been a week of cauliflowers -  this week I have picked so many of different sizes and colours. Some tiny ones that grew in the shady places,


  and some of quite a decent size.


As well as the bountiful caulis, there has been rocket,


and celery,


and  a little broccoli - a  big side shoot.


That's it really, but it's been plenty. Plenty not to really be buying vegetables.

I am contributing this to Daphne's Harvest Monday. Click away to see plenty more pickings from around the world. They will be there when the world turns a little more.

    1. Thank you Jenny. I am pretty pleased with how the caulis have turned out. This is the first year in a new patch and the soil is not yet how I want it, yet I still have reasonable caulis.

    1. Thank you... Broccoli is easier than cauli I think but I don't seem to have too much trouble growing cauli... Not sure why, perhaps just good luck?

  5. So I'm now officially jealous. I have tried for years to grow cauliflower with very little success. Yours look awesome!!

    1. I am not so sure why I sort of succeed...perhaps its just fertility? I really don't know why I have some success with caulis. If I new the secret is share it.

    1. They are not huge but I suspect supermarket cauli are obscenely large. But I do gett some cauli success . I wish I knew what I did!
