Title: how can I stop this??
Post by: starry on November 11, 2011, 13:31

all my caulis are going a bit brown on top (the curd bit) I guess its from the rain, I have folded the leaves over but is there any thing else I can do ??

Eat them. They will deteriorate if left.

Could it be boron deficiency?

Are they big enough to eat? if they are, I would harvest, blanch and freeze..
