success at last !!

I have just brought home 2 beautiful caulis from my allotment and there are more to come this is my 3rd year of trying so really pleased hurrah hurrah!!   

What did you do different this year Starry? 

In my 3-year experience I have never produced anything bigger than a floret

Nice one!

I've got 2 growing into at least 4 or 5in wide while others are small. I have been told to pick them now otherwise it will split up.

domw001,

i grew them beginning of March and left them in pots until end of April and waited until they grew at least 4 true leaves or more. some time later moved them into bigger pots and piled soil up to the 1st new leaves and water well. around mid April i left them outside in the weather and then planted them on the plot. i give it small dressing of groworganic before potting them outside then every 2 weeks give it a little spread around the stem and water, or you can make tea from it and water them with that.
