Growing Sicilia Violetto cauliflower
« on: June 07, 2012, 13:54 »
I've got some of the above cauliflower growing in the plot. This is the first time that I have tried them. They've put on a good amount of leaf and over the last couple of weeks started to form a curd. However instead of a solid ball it looks more like lots of stems with flowers on the end. Has it bolted and gone to seed or is this how it grows?

And before you ask - yes I am that dumb!

Regards, WG  ;)

Yes it has bolted I am sorry to say

My first foray into caulis I did exactly that -- waited for the curd to get bigger  :ohmy:

Once I can see it, I cut it and all is well


Good luck with the next one
