Waiting for the rain to blow over so I can go up the road and sow some brassicas, and found this on Romanesco.

Much better than my own photos :-\

And it tastes even better than it looks! ;D

All best, Gavin

Daughter wanted to grow it this year - thought it was just a case of ordering 'romanesco' - so now how do I choose!! = Tim

oooooo don't they look great, sexy cauliflowers!  Are they really yummy?  The family lurve caulis, but apart from little old me, none of them like brocolli.  Going down to the west country for a few days and I have a cheap seed seller down there....so I sense a purchase or 10 being made!  aaaggghhhh...no more room!!!

Oh definitely yummy! :) :) :)  Kind of "fresher and greener" than cauli and broccoli - now that looks even more stupid written than it sounds when I say it, but try it and you'll see what I mean! :o

All best, Gavin
