Tasty Time in the Garden
« on: October 25, 2004, 13:27:24 »
I love this time of year as so many of the things being picked are amoung my fav vegetables.

The sprouts are Peer Gynt, can't remember the cauli. Both grown in ground that supposedly has club root but I planted them in pockets of compost and treated the roots with a club root control liquid. So far so good!



That is a pound coin for scale on the Cauli. It was big enough to feed 6 with some left over, plenty more to come so cauliflower cheese on the menu and to be frozen!

Wow  :o

Well done you, aren't caulis supposed to be really difficult to grow? It's huge! I love cauli with cheese sauce?  :P

What's your secret, other than the compost and clubroot treatment?

Lottie-less until I can afford a house with it's own garden.

Jerry, both of those look fantastic - you must feel very proud to have grown such brilliant veggies.  Sprouts and Caulis are my favourites too. What varieties are they?   :D busy_lizzie

Do try the remedy (discussed on here )of putting 1" of rhubarb in the hole before planting brassicas for club root .It really did work for me this time i had wonderful cabbage etc.
