Can anyone help me ID this?  It was supposed to be a cauliflour!

Am I right in thinking it's WSB?

Judging by the way the flowers are coming out of the leaf axils, I say it some sort of ex- sprouters!

[Robert_S]

what's one of those?

and can I eat it ? 

[DD.]

A gone over sprouting something, albeit purple or white!

[Robert_S]

it#s only recently started growing upwards, at first I though oh, one of my caulis has just gone straight to seed without forming a head, then I noticed all the side shoots...

Those flowering shoots may be a bit too far gone to eat, but nothing ventured    Things go a bit tough and sometimes bitter when they go to seed, but that's the worse that could happen.  I'd pick a few leaves and flowers and give them a go, but its going to be a short-lived crop as it is well on its way to a full bolt

By the shape and colour of the leaves I would guess this is a cabbage. Probably something like January King that was planted too late to form a head and has now gone to seed.

[Robert_S]

excellent, cheers Salmo, January King was one of the 4 types of brassica I planted last autumn, so you could be right on the money there.

I planted January King last year and today dug up three that look just like yours!! No hearts just leaves! I I also reckon they are a cabbage or January King.
