Title: winter cauli and cabbage
Post by: tartonterro on June 12, 2009, 21:39:45
am i on a hidding to nothing
i had planted some over wintering cauli and cabbages but when i lost the plot (the planting one lol) i transplanted them to raised beds in garden they seem healthy enough and cabbages seem to have a bit of a heart to the but the cauli's are all just bit long leaves
should i just pull and compost or might i still get something from them

Caulis will be all leaves for ages before the hearts begin to form.  Leave them be and they should be OK.

When did you plant them?
I planted some last sept/Oct and they produced some great veg in late winter/spring but 4 cauliflowers did not produce anything but leaves.
I've left them in the ground for now and will probebly use the leaves for greens when i get round to it.
