Spot on, they are a great couli, nice and clean, the only down side is the length of time they are in the ground. Mine are just starting to get about that size as well.

Incredible you have that sized crop already!

What a nice pear, sorry! pair of caulis, I planted some out yesterday ( All year round ) this is the first time I have had a go at growing  them so I will be over the moon if they turn out like yours. How are or did you cook them, tempura springs to mind for me "yum" :P.

Brilliant well done!

I don't have much luck with caulis. Last year the birds ate them and this year I got 4 seeds to germinate and the chicken had them today. Tying another lot today...........
