Hi All,

Not done Cauliflower over winter before so do they need any protection over winter?
apart from being covered by scaffold netting.

Doing...Onions/Garlic/Cabbage/Cauli/Pea/Bean.... any other suggestions.

[starry]

I dont think so they are supposed to be pretty tough so every one tells me !! I havent done them before either 

[DD.]

Pigeon protection is all they need.

[Steve.B]

Shotgun it is then!

[Aunt Sally]

What variety are you using Steve ?

[mashauk]

My packet says to keep them in a cold frame over winter.

[DD.]

Are we talking of over-wintering plants to stick out in spring, or plants to grow over winter?

If the latter they need to be in the ground & should be in by now.

I'm growing the usual Winter Pilgrim.

[Steve.B]

Aunt Sally: They are 'All year round'

DD: Ready to go in this weekend after hardening off.

[DD.]

Not sure how you'll get on with those. Despite their name, this is what T & M say about them:

"Sow seeds February to May, or October overwintered in coldframes".

You may be OK.

[Steve.B]

Give them a try and see?

[DD.]

Nothing to lose.
