Two more caulis --- one was small bu the other one a decent size at six inches across

(Decent for me as I have never had any success with caulis previously - wrong varieties at the wrong time  :lol:)

Went to the plot today, first time in a week, due to rain day after day.  There were five cauliflower showing and ready for cutting. Has anyone grown  Jerome cauliflower?  They are enormous and so heavy that I could only manage to bring one home on my bicycle. I left the other four in the shed ( hope the mice don't have a party) How on earth will I get through five enormous cauliflowers?  I'm starting to worry about the size of my ears!
There is no better show of antisipation than a man sowing seeds in a field.

There are very few eatable crops at the allotment yet.

However, the builder with the corner plot has 4 superb cauliflowers which
are just about to go over.   The curds are attracting slugs each night and the
leaves are feeding a large number of snails.   I have picked off over 70 slugs
and snails as I leave the allotment each night.

Popped to the plot to grab some flat leaf parsley to go in the mozzarella & courgette muffins I was making.

Some lovely mixed salad leaves from the GH - they added lots of spice to the shop bought salad veggies.  :)
