Hi
Got caulis in but somethings been eating the leaves, its so bad on some plants the tiny curd is exposed.  I think the leaf eating has stopped but the damage has been done.  Do I need to protect the curds through winter?  Is it worth trying to wrap the remainder of the outer leaves round it.  Or do I have to pick the worse effected and have the smallest cauliflower cheese in history?
Any help gratefully received

Seems like the curd shouldn't be there at all.  Which variety and when did you plant out please?

Not sure what variety they are, got them in a bundle from a garden centre (that doesn't help does it!).  If my memory serves me right, and it often doesn't, I think I planted them out in July or August.  I think they are meant to over winter and be ready in spring? A couple of plants have got curds the size of tennis balls.  It seems the plants with the eaten leaves have produced the curds.

I think you'll be eating them early but see what others say 'cos your winters are much milder than mine.

best you eat them as the curds will go rotten if frost hits em ,they are autumn ones by sound of it
