Nothing against All Year Round Cauli and i must admit they give a good result but they are not a patch on Candid Charm.

AYR is in the summer months a 20 to 26 week cauli so if you sow in February you will crop at the earliest about June/July
If you plant them in November you have to have some where to over winter them and look after them and they become a 36 week Cauli cropping in May/June with continuous planting you will get Cauli,s into October.

Candid Charm is quite tollorate to the cold and can be sown in February 50 to 60deg for seed germination and get my first Cauli in June/July with continuous cropping to October no over wintering and no extra work.

Another two types much the same as Candid Charm are Cornell and One for the show bench Raleigh.
The newest one for me to try this year is Frisco.

When you wake up on a morning say "good morning world" and be grateful
